Our Mission

The mission of the Washington State Institute for Community Oriented Policing (WSICOP) is to broker relevant community policing training programs to community members, police and/or other government officials that will provide technical assistance to law enforcement agencies, and to conduct research on the implementation and results of community oriented policing.

About Us

WSICOP is a joint effort of Washington State University, the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, and the Washington Criminal Justice Training Commission. It serves as the vehicle for statewide implementation of community policing. WSICOP is centered at WSU Spokane, where it can electronically connect via interactive television equipped classrooms with any of the several Washington Higher Education Telecommunication System sites.
