The Center for Public Safety Managment offers a number of programs that can be delivered in a variety of formats. Programs are offered at the ICMA Annual Conference, through ICMA University, via webinar, or in person in your city/region.

ICMA Webinars

Most of the Center's programs are offered in an abbreviated fashion through webinars. You and your entire staff can listen to the webinar, providing an opportunity for anyone in your organization to participate in the exchange of knowledge. Webinars are offered periodically. Check our homepage or ICMA's homepage for upcoming topics and opportunities.

ICMA University

Programs are normally expanded and offered at the ICMA Annual Conference during half-day and full-day sessions. ICMA University workshops take place on Saturday and Sunday before the start of the annual conference. The Center for Public Safety Management also works with other professional organizations (International Association of Fire Chiefs, International Association of Police Chiefs, Community Oriented Policing -- COPS -- Office) on full-day symposiums prior to the start of the ICMA Annual Conference.

Hosted Opportunities

The Center for Public Safety Management is now offering the opportunity for cities to host our educational workshops in their community. Hosting opportunities require the community provide the training space at no charge to the Center in exchange for one free registration. For every 10 participants, the host community receives one free registration to attend the educational session.

The Center will work with your community to develop materials to promote the event. We ask that you utilize your connections with local and state organizations to secure additional participants. We usually require a minimum attendance in order to cover the costs of staff travel and time.
