The first thing the ISO teaches its prospective members is understanding how communities and institutions work. A sociologically realist and internally developed framework for analysis is utilized so Community Liaison Officers can gauge the dynamics of a community. This way, they would know the best way they can assist the community's Civic Virtue and be able to expand their network to fulfill their mission.

The propsective Community Liaison Officer will be taught how to build Social Cohesion, there will be various tactics and strategies utilized to consistently do this. The Social Cohesion built will be utilized to ensure the reliable recruitment and retention of assistants who can engage in any collective action or general activity that the Community Liaison Officer considers fit for the upholding of Civic Virtue. The idea is to construct and maintain organizational capacity so that a consistent output of work can exist.

The Community Liaison Officer will acquaint himself with the political and governmental institutions he will be active in. He will read the laws, understand the regulations, and cooperate with authorities in all things relevant. The ISO will test its Community Liaison Officers on their knowledge about their area of operation.
