Security company has plans to build regional law enforcement training center

COEUR d'ALENE -- Blackwater Worldwide, a private security company, wants to build a regional law enforcement training center in North Idaho.

The North Carolina-based company is negotiating a contract with the Idaho Peace Officer Standards & Training Academy to provide space and instruction to law enforcement personnel.

"Blackwater will be entering into agreement with the state of Idaho to build a training facility," Anne Tyrrell said Wednesday. "In this agreement, Idaho POST would be a tenant. There would be other law enforcement agencies from the surrounding areas."

Jeff Black, the executive director of the Idaho POST Academy, said no costs have been established and the idea still needs to be approved by the state.

"The dance begins," Black said. "There are a lot of things we need to work out. It's very early in the process."

Blackwater said it hasn't picked out a site for the future facility and declined to say what the facility would cost.

1. The culture seems about right for them up there. The movie stars might gripe, though, that

own big huge tracts of land up that way.
