The COPS Office provides support, resources, and assistance to law enforcement agencies nationwide by using a 

“by the field, for the field” model. Solutions are designed 

by subject matter experts from the field in a collaborative 

manner with the agency to address their unique needs. Customizing the technical assistance for each agency ensures 

that the assistance is timely, relevant, and field-driven. The 

program is a public service and offered at no cost to the 

requesting agency. 

“

CULTURAL HUMILITY | CUSTOMIZATION | LOCAL 

The COPS Office is committed to supporting 

law enforcement in Alaska and the communities 

they serve in a way that is relevant to them 

and respectful of local control. The Collaborative 

Reform Initiative for Technical Assistance is 

the kind of program that can make good on 

that commitment.” 

– COPS OFFICE DIRECTOR PHIL KEITH
“ The goal of Collaborative Reform is to provide technical 

assistance to state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies that will enhance their organizational, 

public safety, crime reduction, and community policing 

effectiveness while maintaining local control and accountability for effective policing in their communities.”
