Our First Ever Summit!

Before Cindy Beck retired as the CDE specialist over law and public safety courses in California last spring, she wanted to give a parting gift to her teachers. She wanted to start an annual training day just for those teachers in the law and public safety areas. Thanks in part for some supplemental CDE funds, the first LPS Summit will be February 6th, 2025 in at Clovis Veterans Memorial District north of Fresno.

Sessions

There will be sessions for every pathway in the law and public safety area: Law Enforcement, Fire, Emergency Medical, Legal Services and many more. Sessions will cover industry specific information as well as generalized content such as how to grow your program and expand Work Based Learning Opportunities.
