Tribal Training
2008 Funding
With 2008 tribal training funding Fox Valley Technical College will deliver
training and technical assistance to the 2008 Tribal Resources Grant Program (TRGP)
awardees. Tasks include curricula development, on-site training and technical
assistance in community policing and specialized topics, and a guidebook/toolkit
based on the trainings. One particular specialized topic that will be offered
will be training and technical assistance surrounding methamphetamines in tribal
lands, with a focus on meth awareness and understanding as well as dealing with
lab cleanup and removal. The on-site training and technical assistance visits
will involve multiple types of stakeholders beyond tribal law enforcement to
include tribal leaders, community leaders, and others. Visit http://www.fvtc.edu

2007 Funding
Under a 2007 COPS award, the Upper Midwest Community Policing Institute is
developing a set of training curricula for Native American settings. The mission
is to develop an innovative and culturally acceptable set of training, tools,
and materials that will provide valuable community policing information to
Native American law enforcement agencies and their community partners. Through
consultation with experts the Institute will develop several modules of training
for Native American audiences, pilot test the modules, and deliver approximately
24 trainings sessions to COPS 2007 Tribal Resources Grant Program (TRGP)
recipients, and others as space allows. Training participants will also receive
an Implementation Guidebook to assist them in implementing the knowledge and
skills from the training in their department. Visit http://www.umcpi.org
