Center for Public Safety Excellence

The Center for Public Safety Excellence® (CPSE®) is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation that helps high-performing fire departments and emergency services professionals in their efforts to continuously improve.
We 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 offer individuals and departments the information they need to expand their knowledge and capabilities and stay on the forefront of the profession.
