Association of Chiefs of Police and Oklahoma Police Chief's Training
Foundation
|
| The Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police provides the facilities
which house the ORCPI and training classrooms. The Association of Chiefs
has been in existence since 1976, during which time they have
functioned as a legislative and training to not only Chief Law
Enforcement Officers and Command Level staff but also to line officers.
Knowledgeable about societal changes that would dictate a reshaping of
police work in the years to come, the Oklahoma Police Chief's Training Foundation
was created in 1986 to proactively
advance the capabilities of the state's law enforcement base. The intent
was to broaden opportunities for law enforcement training beyond chief
executives, to include all skill levels and ranks. Furthermore, through
the creation of a statewide law enforcement agency accreditation standard,
it was intended to organize and focus all departments toward a consistent
policing standard.

| University of
Oklahoma College of Liberal Studies
|
| The University of Oklahoma College of Liberal Studies faculty and staff
develop curriculum, compile and interpret research data, and provide instructors
for ORCPI. The University of Oklahoma College of Liberal Studies has national
and international recognition as a leader in the non-traditional degree
movement and in continuing liberal education. Established in 1960, the
college was the result of University of Oklahoma faculty members' concern
for the development of programs for adult students which would be of high
quality and would accommodate the needs and circumstance of the adult learner.
The college is an academic division of the University of Oklahoma with
a mission to provide coherent, interdisciplinary, liberal arts programs
of high quality through innovative formats. The primary academic programs
of the college maintain interdisciplinary perspectives and flexible, innovative
approaches to content and procedures. |

| Norman Police
Department
|
| Norman Police Department provides a model for real world application
of community policing principles through on-site technical assistance and
pilot testing of innovative techniques. The Norman Police Department is
one of the state's leading police departments in the community policing
movement. Norman's force of over 100 officers has been involved in training
with the community policing philosophy in mind since 1991. Prior to that
time, the city was divided into districts. When a funding opportunity
became available to implement a new structure and hire additional officers,
the downtown area was split into "beats" with permanent assignments given
to officers. This allowed residents and merchants to become better acquainted
with their "beat officer." Since its inception, the program has been expanded
to include the entire city. |
