We will be posting various aspects of the Reno/COPS Model on this page as well as sub-pages. Most will be in PDF format and may be downloaded for your use. Some documents, such as manuals, are too large to put on this site but we will be happy to send you an electronic copy of the document you request. You may go to the Contact Us page to make requests.
Training Opportunities
None at this time. We will post here when we have new classes scheduled.
President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing Recommends PTO
5.13.1 Action Item: The U.S. Department of Justice should support the development of broad Field Training Program standards and training strategies that address changing police culture and organizational procedural justice issues that agencies can adopt and customize to local needs.
A potential model for this is the Police Training Officer program developed by the COPS Office in collaboration with PERF and the Reno (Nevada) Police Department. This problem-based learning strategy used adult learning theory and problem solving tools to encourage new officers to think with a proactive mindset, enabling the identification of and solution to problems within their communities.
