One sergeant plus one lieutenant plus 10 weeks of no-cost training add up to an invaluable investment in local law enforcement leadership. The IACP Foundation is proud to recognize the two candidates who received full scholarships to the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety’s (NUCPS’s) renowned 10-week School of Police Staff and Command (SPSC).

The SPSC prepares law enforcement managers for senior positions by combining academic principles with practical applications. The program is intended for mid- and upper-level supervisory personnel, and students typically have at least two years of supervisory experience. The SPSC focuses on four main components: understanding management, law enforcement management and environment, human resource management, and skills for planning and analysis.
