2019 Fall Highlight
NEW! SUPERVISION OF PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL
Oct 14 - Nov 4
NIPSTA, Glenview, IL
Strong first-line supervisory skills are essential for public safety professionals to successfully mitigate emergency incidents. Increasingly, an effective response to a crisis requires a collaborative effort between leaders representing a variety of public safety disciplines. Supervision of Public Safety Personnel is a unique collaboration between the Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training Academy (NIPSTA) and NUCPS and provides front-line public safety personnel with a critical foundation for solid professional development and growth.
This all-new, two-week course has been intentionally developed for a wide range of participants, including fire service, law enforcement, EMS, telecommunications, hospitals, public health, and public works from local, state and federal agencies.
