TraCS training

All law enforcement agencies are required to attend Badger TraCS Training in order to receive a TraCS license. The appropriate paperwork needs to be completed prior to registration. See Getting TraCS for the required paperwork.

A Badger TraCS training session consists of two days:

The first day an individual or officer will learn how to use the TraCS application and be able to train their law enforcement officers and office staff.
The second day is structured for the IT specialist who will be installing, setting up and supporting the application for their agency.

There is no registration fee. Participants are responsible for their travel, lodging and meal expenses.

A registration form must be completed for each individual attending training. At this time, due to the high demand for TraCS, agencies are limited to sending two individuals per training session, (e.g. Two officers attend the user training and two IT staff attend the installation and support training or two individuals can attend both days).
