Host a NUCPS Course - Northwestern University Center for Public Safety

NUCPS Hosting Experience

Hosting a NUCPS course is easy and hassle-free. 

• No Costs! Our course hosts incur no out-of-pocket course-related costs for hosting a NUCPS class. 
• Earn up to 4 Free Seats! A host agency can earn up to four free seats at the course it is hosting, depending on the number of paying students enrolled in the class. These seats can be used for the host’s personnel or can be sold to other agencies.

Hosting agencies or organizations are responsible for providing:

• Suitable classroom in terms of size, internet access, and general course requirements. Courses vary in length. For programs such as SPSC or the Executive Management Program, we can work with you to determine the course schedule.  
• A contact person who is available to assist instructors during the course; and,
• Promotion of course to local law enforcement agencies to help boost enrollment. This may include mailings, e-mail, phone calls, social media, advertising, and PR.

Hosts may provide students with options and recommendations for hotels, meals, and transportation but are not required to book hotels, schedule meals, or provide transportation.

NUCPS Handles the Rest

• Student registration & billing;
• Outstanding course instructors;
• Required course materials;
• Custom course flyers for agencies to use in promoting the course;
• Course listing on the NUCPS website; and,
• Inclusion of course in e-blasts to NUCPS in-house email list.

Plan Ahead

NUCPS recommends planning at least 9 – 12 months in advance. This lead time helps both NUCPS and the host agency promote the course and allow potential participants to secure funding.

International Courses

Over the last 20-plus years, NUCPS-customized programs have taken place in 36 different countries.  All of NUCPS' courses are available — and customizable — for international clients, including the School of Police Staff & Command, Crash Investigation & Reconstruction courses, and Police Motorcycle Instructor Training. 

“[We] were able to help forge the foundation for a new Kuwait traffic safety program that will be implemented over the next few years, with anticipated results of a reduction of fatal and injury traffic crashes.” — NUCPS Crash Director Adam Hyde

NUCPS offers a wide variety of partnership options and works with global clients to develop courses that fit their needs in terms of content, location, and languages. Our international clients can host a NUCPS program at their location that is exclusive to their own employees; they can host a training program open to their staff along with professionals from their region, nation, or other countries; or, they can work with NUCPS to develop an online program that fits their on-going training requirements.
