For the past few years I’ve been involved with the International Public Safety Association (IPSA). IPSA is a 501c3 non-profit organized to serve all of public safety. While it’s important for each discipline to have their own membership organization, it’s equally important for these disciplines to have one organization that supports the collective, encouraging and supporting partnerships and cooperation before, during, and after emergencies; discussing aspects of organizational management and leadership, incident management, service to our communities, and tactical cooperation.
IPSA was founded ten years ago and has members from over 40 nations representing fire, police, EMS, emergency management, telecommunications, public health, public works, hospitals, and more. IPSA runs webinars throughout the year, publishes the IPSA Journal and industry relevant reports, and holds an annual conference.
I encourage everyone to become a member and consider the following highlighted events:
Transforming Public Safety Leadership webinar series (Beginning March 14th – free of charge to everyone!)
2024 IPSA Annual Conference May 1-2 Mesa, AZ
If you have any questions about IPSA, please send me a message and I’ll be happy to help!

Hi Tim, the link to the webinar is now down / broken. It appears once the webinar was finished they took it down or possibly just didn’t record it. 😦
Hi Chris. Unfortunately they had to postpone due to a family emergency with one of the presenters. Send an email to info@joinipsa.org and they will ensure you get the reschedule info.
Thanks Tim!
