###  Tribal Oriented Policing Strategies (TOPS) is now available online! 

 April 2017 | Volume 10 | Issue 4

Tribal law enforcement,  community leaders and tribal members can now learn about the use of organized  problem-solving teams and applying community policing principles to address key  challenges, improve public safety and enhance community quality of life right  from their home or office. 

Through funding from the  Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, U.S. Department of Justice, the  National Criminal Justice Training Center (NCJTC) of Fox Valley Technical  College developed four comprehensive online modules that cover topics including:  positive ethics, communication, leadership styles, identifying key  stakeholders, partnership building, a six-step problem-solving model, and  examples of success. Training modules can be taken as a comprehensive program  in the recommended module order shown or as individual modules. 
          - Module  1: Course Introduction
          - Module 2: Community  Policing         Define community policing and  explore key stakeholders in a successful community policing strategy. Examine  ways the crime triangle can be applied to addressing public safety concerns and  developing potential solutions.
          - Module 3: Team  Building         Explore strategies to foster  positive community ethics, effective communication techniques and leadership  styles. Identify how to implement these techniques to build strategic  partnerships inside and outside the community to augment tribal community  policing action plans and improve public safety.
          - Module 4: Problem  Solving         Examine a six-step problem solving  model and identify how to effectively implement this model to address specific  public safety concerns and needs in your community. Practice the application of  these principles through meaningful exercises, and examine a case study where  the six-step model was successfully applied in a tribal community setting.
