The CPE program brings together professionals from communications centers across the U.S. and Canada. When you sign up, you join a fellowship of learning where you will explore the issues that are most important to you. Not only will you work with a great class of students, you will work closely with faculty and instructors with university-level experience, specializing in leadership education.
This is a hands-on program designed to help you develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to provide leadership in a wide range of situations: in your agency, your town or state or within your APCO chapter. This unique opportunity to set yourself apart from your peers and have fun in the process will be unlike anything you've ever imagined. Learn more.
Congratulations to our inaugural class, who graduated January 13.

Since its inception, one of the major tenets of the Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program (P25 CAP) is to provide increased interoperability for first responders. During a mutual aid scenario, it is essential that first responders from different jurisdictions using subscribers from different vendors use the standards-based tested and approved encryption algorithm to ensure successful and secure communications. Unfortunately, the spread of non-standard encryption in the land mobile radio environment has threatened this goal.
