What is this training about? This course designed to create, expand, and sustain community policing
initiatives across the country. This course, developed by the Western Community Policing Institute (WCPI)
and the National Native American Law Enforcement Association (NNALEA), is designed to provide initial
awareness-level training. Participants in this training serve as representatives for their community/region, by
providing useful feedback regarding the issues, problems, resources, and existing initiatives within their
region.
The course consists of topics including: Principles of Community Policing, Cultural and Tribal
Sovereignty, Problem Solving, Regional Collaborative Partnerships, MOU/MOA Agreements,
Stakeholders, and Law: PL-638 and PL-280. The course will provide participants with an
understanding of the information and structure needed to begin regional Tribal collaboration between
multiple sectors, jurisdictions, regions, and states; an understanding of how to build relationships and
cooperative capabilities; specific instruction in partnerships/team building, problem solving, and
applicable organizational transformation to effectively use community policing principles in regional
collaboration to solve cross jurisdictional crime and livability issues; and instruction on overcoming
cultural issues by focusing on what partners have in common rather than how they are different,
identifying stakeholders, the need for regional collaboration, first steps to regional collaboration
efforts, and how to develop MOUs and MOAs.
