A Day of Fun for All Ages
The NIPSTA Foundation hosts the 3rd Annual Public Safety Awareness Day on Sunday, September 12th as a showcase of the specialized programs and facilities available in Glenview. The NIPSTA Campus will be open to the public for live demonstrations and hands-on activities. Scenarios will be staged and combined with interactive displays of public safety equipment and vehicles.
This event provides a unique opportunity to not only meet and greet fire, police and public works professionals, but also get an up-close look at the tools of their trades. Admission is free. Food and beverage service will also be available on-site.
Public Safety Awareness Day is made possible thanks to extraordinary support from corporate sponsors and Member departments that donate their time and talent to this annual activity. This year, raffles will include the chance to win a ride to school on a fire engine, Chicago Blackhawks tickets, Harley Davidson gift certificates, plus much more!

These programs provide hands-on training that is not available elsewhere in Illinois. Students learn new skills and gain valuable experience in a state-of-the-art environment. Evidence technicians and other police personnel are encouraged to attend.
Police Tactical Driver Training
NIPSTA offers a three-day tactical driver training curriculum and a one-day re-certification program that provides for the safety of department personnel, and the residents they serve. This instruction is intended to enhance driving skills by combining classroom education with practical exercises. Program success is measured on a pass/fail basis and requires student proficiency on a written exam and in simulations on the NIPSTA Driver Training Pad.
Multiple training dates have been scheduled throughout the year in order to provide as many opportunities as possible for improvement of on-the-job performance. Driving activities are intense, but performed in a safe environment at controlled speeds. Departments that participate in this comprehensive, proactive program will reduce their accident rates and liabilities.
