Police Training Exchange

New this year six Santa Barbara officers provide training; in addition the SB/PV committees provided funds for 3 new computers to assist in the training of officers.

The idea behind the police training and law enforcement interchange is to send a group of Puerto Vallarta police officers to the city of Santa Barbara California in order to provide them with training on topics such as; police techniques, public safety, SWAT teams maneuvers, prisoner handling and other police methods to ensure the security of the citizens as well as the national and international tourists who visit this vacation destination.

So far, police departments from neighboring cities as far away as Guadalajara have had the opportunity to undergo this rewarding and educative experience in the United States. Through this innovative program, they are learning new methods of law enforcement, techniques for being responsible members of the police department, and new ways to ensure the safety of the citizens of our city.
