Capella at IACP in San Diego on Veteran’s Day

2008 Nov 13 Posted by Charles

Hello everyone, I just returned from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) technology conference in San Diego. There were thousands of chiefs, commanders and law enforcement professionals from the U.S. and abroad. After my own 32 years in the field it is very encouraging seeing the high tech, information sharing and intelligence systems taking center stage as we strive to make an even safer U.S.A.

It was a very exciting time to speak with the chiefs and to learn about their progress and innovation in the field. I also spoke with a good number of chiefs who are definitely interested in pursuing their next degree.

We had one of our PhD alum stop by from Texas and another chief, from the Boston area, currently in our criminal justice and leadership area stopped by to say hello as well.

If you were in San Diego please drop me a line to say hello. Sorry that we missed each other.

To my law enforcement, emergency management and public safety colleagues I look forward to a reunion again in 2009 in the Rocky Mountain area!

Charles

Important Note:

Greetings to our military members and veterans. Capella had a special recognition in honor of Veteran’s Day at the IACP. I also was honored to witness a celebration ceremony of the 233rd birthday of the Marine Corp, an event held within the IACP exhibit area.

My best wishes of gratitude to all military members (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard - active and reserve forces) for your service!

Hello Patricia, were you at the IACP by chance?

You’ll see many of our success here on the blog in a variety of postings, such as our being the only program level recognition in the country by Quality Matters. We also have two national honor society chapters within the public safety program. Our outstanding cadre of scholar-practitioner faculty focus on learning outcomes and on academic excellence.

If you would like to discuss this further off-line please drop me an email at Charles.Tiffin@Capella.edu.

As I tell everyone I meet, the most important thing to do is to prepare yourself for the next exciting chapter in your life and I think that is accomplished by learning, improving your critical thinking skills and getting that next degree.

Best wishes to you toward graduation and beyond.
