The National Center for Campus Public Safety's (NCCPS or the National Center) mission is to bring together all forms of campus public safety, professional associations, advocacy organizations, community leaders, and others to improve and expand services to those who are charged with providing a safe environment on the campuses of the nation's colleges and universities. The National Center promotes innovative practices specific to campus public safety efforts and develops comprehensive responses, resources and strategies, drawing from contemporary practices and the latest thinking on school safety and security. In addition, the National Center delivers essential training and technical assistance to campus security teams, student affairs professionals and key stakeholders and coordinates resources germane to the safety of students and teachers. One of the National Center’s main goals also includes developing key partnerships with professional associations, advocacy and nonprofit organizations, and government programs to enhance and centralize information and resources that are beneficial to the public safety community.
