Formation of the JPA

Prior to September 11, 2001, the public safety agencies (fire service and law enforcement) in the greater Sacramento Region had developed and implemented a strategic plan for a highly flexible interagency training platform for emergency responders by consolidating training resources at a former military base (former McClellan AFB now known as McClellan Park).  This logical evolution of public safety interagency consolidation with education was formalized under a Joint Powers Authority (JPA), the Northern California Regional Public Safety Training Authority, and encompassed the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, City of Sacramento Police Department, City of Sacramento Fire Department, Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the Los Rios Community College District.

The Facility offers classrooms, a tactical village, three shooting ranges, a K9 training area, a POST approved work sample test battery obstacle course and a shoot house for simmunition and frangible tactical training.
