NUCPS Kansas City Regional Chapter
Welcome

Greetings,
I would like to welcome each of you to the Kansas City Regional Chapter as we embark on a new journey together. This inaugural year will set the foundation for developing a strong network to enhance a path for personal development and organizational growth. I am excited to work with Northwestern University Center for Public Safety (NUCPS), the board of directors, committees, and every member of the chapter to bring this group together.
I would like to extend a special thank you to Director Shelly Camden for her outstanding support and leadership to this region, Caroline Andrew and the entire staff at NUCPS for their patience, support, and guidance in bringing this chapter to fruition.
This first year will be challenging but exciting and I can’t wait to see what our group accomplishes in our first year.
Be safe!
John Teale
