The Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation.
CPSE helps high-performing fire departments and emergency services professionals in their efforts to continuously improve. They do that in three main ways:
- Fire department accreditation, a process in which departments undergo a thorough self-assessment focused on identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
- Credentialing fire and emergency services professionals, instilling the principles of life-long learning and self-accountability and helping them grow and plan for a successful career.
- Education programs offering individuals and departments the information they need to expand their knowledge and capabilities, and stay on the forefront of the profession.
