Instructor: Deputy Chief Scott Oldham is a thirty-year law enforcement veteran of the Bloomington, IN PD.  As he rose in rank, so did his responsibilities. With every police shooting that involves the discharge of an officer’s weapon, a criminal investigation takes place.  Scott has overseen numerous investigations of these types within his agency, both in supervising the criminal investigation and, at other times, the administrative investigation. Unfortunately, he has also had to conduct investigations where his own officers have been killed in the line of duty. Because of his experience in these areas, he has often consulted and advised other agencies about the proper protocol as they proceed in their investigations.

Before his current position, he was assigned to his agency’s Special Weapons and Tactics unit for over nineteen years. He served in various roles, including entry team leader and primary SWAT School Instructor. He ultimately had the honor of serving as the overall Team Commander before leaving to accept promotion, becoming one of the agency’s designated ‘Incident Commanders.’ Earlier in his career, Scott was a founding member of the Indiana SWAT Officers Association.

During his career, Scott has had over 125 articles published in S.W.A.T., Tactical Response, Law and Order, Special Operations Report, and others.
