Attendees also get the chance to explore exhibitors, network with schools across the state, get feedback from over 70+ public safety experts, and more!

The main activity of TPSA Conferences is our competitive event series of skill-based competitions designed to prepare students for real-world scenarios in law enforcement, forensic science, fire services, and other public safety careers. Putting on these competitions require over 90 volunteer public safety subject matter experts in a variety of disciplines.

In lieu of charging exhibiting fees, we ask that exhibitors support our event by providing volunteer judges for our events. If you can't provide any volunteers directly, spreading the word that we are looking for public safety professionals passionate about teaching the next generation of professional helps greatly.
