RURAL JUSTICE TRAINING CENTER
“We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training.”
-Anonymous
THE PROBLEM Five Agencies, Four Jurisdictions, One
Reservation with two Sovereign Tribes, and small cities with big city issues:One of three reservations with the highest
crime rate in the nation.Very high unemployment. (over 15%)Alcohol and Drug related arrests total over
87% of total arrests county-wide.One of the only Reservations in the U.S.
where two tribes have to share one reservation.
THE PROBLEM Working Together Was Unheard of:
Each agency serves its own communityOfficers from each agency rarely saw each
other in a “normal” situation.Nobody ever asked why?!
Who’s Really in Charge? Jurisdictional issues (Federal, State, Local)Conflicting rulings from the Courts about
who has jurisdiction and which agencies can/cannot enforce law
THE PROBLEM But we’ve always done it this way!
Training was always viewed as something each department did separately.
When inter-agency training did occur, some of the biggest players were left out (BIA).
Agency training budgets are continually the first to be cut when cities and county are in fiscal crisis.
THE SOLUTION Develop a comprehensive, central
training center whereby all agencies can train together in order to maximize benefit to public safety.Federal DOJ/OJP Grant Invite all agencies to participateSubsidize high-cost training to allow more
officers to participate
PINPOINT TIME! ATTENTION PINPOINT PLAYERS!
Time to “shout out” something about our presentation!

THE SOLUTION Develop strategic partnerships (FBI, BIA,
State, County, Local Law Enforcement)Figured out why each agency trained
separately.Leverage Federal Dollars to help local and
federal agenciesBring the “big guns” to the table!
THE SOLUTION House it all at the COMMUNITY
COLLEGE!Centrally located, no more than 25 miles
from each agencyLocation means less down time, no
travel/hotel costsMore officers able to participate because of
proximity to agencyCollege Credit=FTE Generation
