The California Association of Tactical Officers (CATO) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a reputation for excellence, integrity, and innovation. The field of tactics as it relates to law enforcement is so much more than traditional types of “tactical responses.”
We believe that well-educated and equipped officers are better prepared to serve their communities when they have extensive training on how to resolve tactical incidents in the safest manner possible. CATO goes beyond standard training by creating programs that expand the “tactical toolboxes” of officers with hands-on experience and knowledge shared by industry experts.
