Training October 26th-28th

As part of our office’s efforts to improve the criminal justice response to domestic violence and related cases, we are working to provide comprehensive training to law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judicial personnel who regularly interact with victims and survivors of trauma.

• Training Date: October 26th-28th, 2026 8:00 AM- 4:00 PM

• Expected Audience: Law enforcement officers serving the Fort Peck community (Tribal, City, Roosevelt and Valley County) and, as appropriate, prosecutors and judicial personnel

• Location: 605 Indian Ave, Poplar MT 59255 Greet the Dawn Auditorium

• Signs up begin at 8:00 AM. The training will be mirrored so that those who cannot attend in the morning can attend in the afternoon (or vise versa) and receive the same training content.
