In this capacity, he oversees the acquisition of specialized physical and tactical instruction services, ensuring alignment with the department’s mission to build a highly skilled, adaptive law enforcement workforce.

Tom is the primary decision-maker for contracts related to instructor services, curriculum development, and simulation-based training tools, ensuring all acquisitions meet federal compliance standards and operational requirements. While no contractor data is currently available, Jason Tom’s procurement patterns indicate a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in law enforcement training, particularly those offering certified, scenario-driven instruction programs.
