In order to better assist local agencies in pooling their resources for training initiatives, NorthWest Arkansas Community College, in cooperation with the Criminal Justice Department and the Corporate and Continuing Education division, has created the Northwest Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Consortium (NWALETC).

The NWALETC will serve as a “round table” consortium of law enforcement training officers from local agencies. Agencies are finding themselves confronted with the issue of training the maximum number of officers using minimal resources and struggling to maintain the high level of standards we have come accustomed to. Through inter-agency cooperative efforts it is often possible to assist in meeting these increased demands. The purpose of NWALETC is to help identify the training programs that you and your fellow agencies are currently outsourcing. It will then assist in the pooling of resources and serve as a facilitator to sponsor such events.
