Embracing Tribal Partnerships for Homeland Security
In support of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Preparedness Directorate's Office of Grants and Training (G&T) mission to assist state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments to prevent, protect against, and respond to incidents of national significance and catastrophic events, and to compliment existing WCPI homeland security efforts, this course offers a unique, innovative, and non-duplicative national training approach to enhancing national homeland security preparedness for
emergencies and disasters of all kinds on Tribal lands and in Tribal communities.
This course addresses the unique, significant, and often overlooked threats to homeland security on Tribal lands and surrounding jurisdictions, with a focus on building working, effective, and efficient collaborative partnerships through Tribal lands.
Course content includes specific instruction on coordinating homeland security preparedness assistance expenditures and planning efforts on a regional basis, maximizing manpower, assets and resource inventories to produce effective collaborative efforts, resource tools and methodologies that promote a national approach for critical infrastructure protection, and improving responses in planning and community outreach. Course materials will also include instruction on how to identify and prepare vulnerable populations before an event.
Tribal Inspired Leadership Training
Due to the overwhelming success of Scenario-Based Executive Level Training (#AWR 201), WCPI is in the process of creating a similar two-day training that will assist Tribal Leaders in improving the capacity of Tribal executive leaders to partner with relevant stakeholders, increase the awareness on the importance of culture of trust and accountability, using technology to support community policing efforts through the capture of data, increasing the capacity to develop and enhance mutual trust, increase the capacity to leverage community policing in responding to the effects of local economic distress on public safety, increase the capacity to address unique issues in a culturally sensitive and comprehensive community policing approach, and to increase the practice of community policing globally.
