Oklahoma Terrorism Prevention Institute Trains the Second Half of the Twin-Cities in InCOP:  St. Paul Police Department

(Oklahoma City, OK, Dec. 29th, 2011) MIPT (Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism) and the St. Paul, Minneapolis Police Department have partnered to provide InCOP training to law enforcement and coordinate information collection.

Trainers from St. Paul completed a two-day InCOP Train-the-Trainer course conducted on site at MIPT in Oklahoma City on October 11th and 12th, 2011. The 7 trainers will take the course back to train their deputies and officers with the goal of improving information collection and reporting skills throughout the department.

“MIPT continues to work with major departments around the country,” said MIPT’s Executive director David Cid. “Adding St. Paul alongside Minneapolis to the InCOP family will increase information sharing, strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the people they serve as well as build stronger communities in Minnesota.”

MIPT’s InCOP training delivery began in St. Paul Police Department in November with an anticipated 600 officers to be trained.

InCOP is designed to improve the fundamental and essential skill of information collection for uniformed officers. InCOP 1 concepts are reinforced by the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative (NSI).

The St. Paul Police Department joins other law enforcement department such as Milwaukee, Denver, Boston, Chicago, Miami-Dade and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office as alumni of the InCOP program.

MIPT is a training partner of FEMA or the Federal Emergency Management Agency serving the nation’s 800,000 uniformed officers and law enforcement leadership. Our mission is to enhance the public safety through training, professional development and education.
