NIPSTA Foundation Hosts First Annual Event in Glenview

The Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training Academy (NIPSTA) Foundation hosts its first-ever public awareness event on Sunday, June 8, 2008 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.  The NIPSTA Campus, located at 2300 Patriot Boulevard in Glenview, is home to a 20-acre training facility for police, fire, public works, and other emergency response personnel.  Dozens of Chicagoland communities benefit from the one-of-a-kind training opportunities that are delivered to local first responders.

To showcase its specialized programs and facilities, NIPSTA is open to the public for this one day of live demonstrations and hands-on activities.  Scenarios will be staged and combined with interactive displays of public safety equipment and vehicles.  This 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 trade.
