Elkhart Regional Training Center (ERTC) at Cop'er Canyon

Cop'er Canyon is located in Bristol, IN and you may not be aware, the F.O.P. plans to repurpose the Cop’er Canyon Lodge, into a training facility.

This training facility will feature the following elements:

Interior

Two classrooms
- Classroom one focuses on public outreach and training for new officers, as well as those from specialized units. Free classes such as CPR, First Aid, and Personal Protection.
- Classroom two is dedicated to the training of Police K-9 working dogs
- Functional bathrooms and Kitchen

Exterior

A F.O.P. Training Center board has been formed, comprising members from Elkhart County Sheriff, the Goshen City Police Department, and the Elkhart City Police Department. By March 5th, we will finalize the sponsorship packets, website, tax forms, and various other essential documents to guarantee the swift establishment of the training center. Finally, the F.O.P. is not obtaining any funds from the police departments. As a result, we will be reaching out to community members and local businesses for their support!
