Course Overview: Effective Multi-Jurisdictional Collaboration in Missing or Murdered
Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Cases, an eLearning course, explores how partnerships between Tribal law
enforcement and local, state, federal, and private sector agencies can
strengthen and help sustain their efforts to prevent and effectively respond to
MMIP cases using a fair, victim-centered and trauma-informed approach.
This course teaches how tribal, federal, state, and local
law enforcement agencies and private organizations can form partnerships
through the use of Memorandums of Understanding/Memorandums of Agreement
(MOU/MOAs), as well and other relationship-enhancing shared resources, to
support communication and collaboration to prevent and respond effectively to
MMIP cases. Through a case study exercise, students will learn how MOU/MOAs can
be used as a guide for law enforcement agencies seeking to enhance their MMIP
efforts by memorializing cooperative arrangements.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify
gaps in jurisdictional authority, expertise, and resources that could
impede an effective response to MMIP situations.
- Identify
multi-jurisdictional partnership and collaboration agreements to
supplement existing MMIP resources.
- Incorporate
the key components of community policing into a Tribal law enforcement
agency’s approach to developing partnerships and agreements to effectively
manage, investigate, respond to, and solve MMIP cases.
- Draft,
develop, and implement MOU/MOAs that effectively facilitate the
formalization and adaption of agreements and resource-sharing efforts for
effectively addressing MMIP cases.
- Establish
multi-jurisdictional best practice protocols and procedures for
successfully investigating MMIP cases.
