Tri-State Symposium, Career Fair on Public Safety

Those concerned with public safety at their workplaces and schools, students and alumni interested in public safety careers, and businesses and agencies seeking public safety professionals to employ can learn while connecting with job and hiring possibilities at a tandem event. The first Public Safety Symposium and Career and Internship Fair will be held in the new Public Safety Academy of Northeast Indiana in Fort Wayne, Ind., on Friday, April 11.

The symposium will begin at 8:30 a.m., addressing a grim reality of modern life for universities and businesses alike-the possibility of violent attack. "Active Shooters: How to Prepare for the Worst" will be presented by Dr. Jason Winkle, president of the International Tactical Officers Training Association and an assistant professor of exercise science at Indiana State University in Terre Haute.

The workshop will help prepare school administrators, teachers, counselors, and law enforcement professionals to deal with shooting situations like those at Northern Illinois University and Virginia Tech over the past year. Three hours of continuing education credit, approved by the Indiana law Enforcement Training Board, will be granted to in-service law enforcement personnel who register and attend.

The symposium and career fair are free to the public.
