About ZETRA

Founded in a Community. Built for Every Department.

ZETRA began in the aftermath of George Floyd's death — not as a corporate initiative, but as a direct community response. Twenty years of relationships became the foundation of a training program unlike anything available in the national market.

Our Origin Story

Born in Minnesota. Built for the Nation.

ZETRA was founded in Minnesota in the months following George Floyd's death — not as a reaction, but as an answer. Through community surveys, direct interviews, and sustained engagement with community leaders and liaisons across Minnesota and beyond, a clear picture emerged.

Officers were acting in good faith and still failing — not because of bad intent, but because the knowledge they needed did not exist in any training program available to them.

Our founder brought 20+ years of direct relationships with Somali, East African, and immigrant communities to the work. Not as a researcher, but as someone who built those relationships over decades — attending community events, sitting in on mediations, working alongside community liaisons who trusted him because he had earned it.

Leadership & Faculty

The People Behind the Program.

Founder & Lead Instructor
Abdull Mohamed

Abdull Mohamed brings 20+ years of direct community engagement with Somali, East African, and immigrant communities across the United States. He is not a diversity consultant who studied these communities from the outside — he built relationships inside them over decades, attending community events, working with liaisons, and earning the trust of community leaders who rarely work with law enforcement training organizations.

That access is what makes Module 03 — Somali & East African Community Dynamics — unlike anything else available to law enforcement. It was built from the inside.

Organization
iZone Corp

ZETRA is a division of iZone Corp — a registered federal government contracting vendor and minority-owned enterprise based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. iZone Corp provides the institutional foundation for ZETRA's operations: federal registration, compliance infrastructure, and the grant documentation frameworks that make every ZETRA package reimbursable.

As a registered federal vendor, iZone Corp can contract directly with federal agencies and grant programs — streamlining the procurement process for departments that need to route training through federal contracts.

Mission & Values

What We Are Here to Do. And How We Do It.

01

Community Truth, Not Academic Theory

Every module begins with what actually happens between officers and community members — not what research papers say happens. The curriculum was built from direct relationships, not literature reviews.

02

No Training That Doesn't Produce Outcomes

Every ZETRA module has a defined behavioral outcome that can be observed and measured in the field. We do not train officers to feel better about cultural competency. We train them to perform better in cross-cultural encounters.

03

Grant-Accessible From the Start

ZETRA was designed to be fundable by the grants departments already have. Making excellent training inaccessible because it is too expensive to procure helps no one. Documentation is not an afterthought — it is built into every module.

iZone Corp

The Institutional Foundation Behind ZETRA.

ZETRA is a division of iZone Corp — a registered federal government contracting vendor based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. iZone Corp was built to provide the institutional infrastructure that ZETRA's mission requires: federal registration, compliance frameworks, and the grant documentation systems that make training reimbursable at scale.

As a registered minority-owned federal government vendor, iZone Corp can contract directly with federal agencies — simplifying procurement for departments that need to route training through federal contracting vehicles.
