NUCPS Regional Chapters

For nearly 90 years, we’ve had the privilege of impacting careers, agencies, and communities through some of the highest quality educational programming available for public safety professionals. Our relevance, effectiveness, continuity, and growth can be greatly attributed to the enthusiastic response, word-of-mouth promotion, and valuable feedback of our course graduates and currents students – those who make up our NUCPS Community. 

Now, we are excited to offer the NUCPS community an opportunity to engage with each other on a whole new level! 

Our NUCPS Regional Chapters will be your opportunity to network with fellow professionals in your region! Explore new and innovative avenues for continued professional growth, socialize and network with course graduates from a variety of local, county, state, and federal agencies as well as the private sector, and have fun in the process. 

Planning & Development

We want to match your interests to meaningful engagements. Responses to our recent will be valuable in chapter planning. Right now, we are in the planning stages. Stage 1, the survey portion, is closed. In the next few weeks, we will be contacting those who indicated on the survey their interest in helping establish chapters in their regions (Stage 2). Finally, in Stage 3, we will help those regional chapters open to members. Watch your email this summer for information on joining a regional chapter near you!

 

What Will Regional Chapters Offer?

Regional Chapters will support the mission of NUCPS by "contributing to the advancement of a secure society by providing current knowledge, skills and connections for public safety professionals to achieve their personal and professional potential."

We are currently planning on facilitating the following chapter initiatives: 

  • A variety of on-ground events for networking and socializing with professionals  in your region;
  • Continuing education through seminars, retrainers, and workshops;
  • A national NUCPS Chapter Newsletter;
  • Important opportunities for providing NUCPS with valuable feedback;
  • Official NUCPS individual chapter social media pages;
  • Charity events;
  • More!

As our efforts grow, we envision additional benefits for our regional chapter members, from custom NUCPS-branded regional logos to a members-only web portal. Chapters will help drive these initiatives.
