Training Course: Community Policing Self-Assessment Tool (CP-SAT)
Mode of Delivery: Web-based
Training Provider: ICF International
Target Audience: Tribal and Alaskan Native Communities
Course Description: The Community Policing Self-Assessment Tool (CP-SAT) is a survey that helps your agency measure its progress in implementing community policing. CP-SAT confidentially captures information about community partnerships, problem solving, and organizational impact. This assessment allows agencies to measure the extent to which community policing has been implemented within their agency. This tool was developed with significant input from community policing experts and practitioners and was designed to meet scientific standards for rigor, while also being user-friendly. This tool was created based on over five years of work by COPS, ICF International, and Police Executive Research Forum and has been administered in agencies across the country. The tool is currently being administered by ICF International on behalf of the COPS Office. Upon completion, agencies will receive an easy-to-use Summary Report that summarizes their data so agency management can identify the community policing strengths and areas for improvement. Tribal agencies are able to participate in the CP-SAT upon request during regular administrations of the tool.

Students will participate in a large scale police scenario allowing them to investigate a case from beginning to end.
