The Western Regional Institute for Community Oriented Public Safety (WRICOPS) provides regional training, develops training curriculum, and conducts on-site assessments by utilizing a training and leadership cadre (a team of local government officials, citizen representatives, and law enforcement professionals).
WRICOPS is a five-state partnership of Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming involving Criminal Justice Training Commissions/Peace Officer Standards and Training organizations, police and sheriffs associations, and universities. As a national partnership model, WRICOPS is one of 27 university-practitioner collaborations funded by Congress, known as Regional Community Policing Institutes, and receives frequent visits of delegations from other states to learn from its success.
The Washington State University philosophy of teaching, research, and public service provides a desirable organizational environment to engage a network of universities and law enforcement agencies to provide on-site regional COP training and skills development.
