Registration is now open for the 1st You Have Options Program Introductory Session.

The first train-the-trainer Introductory Session for You Have Options Program Participating Law Enforcement Agency certification is October 13 - 15, 2014 in Ashland, Oregon.  Placement in this training will be determined based on the order Introductory Session registration forms are received.

A minimum of one Program Administrator and one Program Trainer is required for each You Have Options Program Participating Agency to remain certified.  See below for the steps to take if your agency would like to join the You Have Options Program.

In an effort to provide as much useful information as possible in regards to the national implementation of the You Have Options Program a placeholder website (active until the new www.ReportingOptions.org<http://www.ReportingOptions.org> is completed) has been created to provide information on how law enforcement agencies can participate in the program.
