Public safety profession

Step forward to lead with foresight and skill

  • Capella’s public safety faculty has substantial working experience in organizations such as the FBI, New York Police Department, Federal Bureau of Prisons, and U.S. Customs.
  • Our curriculum is built around the reality of interagency collaboration—you need to work effectively with other disciplines in order to lead well in your own organization.
  • The Public Safety programs align with standards set by the National Security Agency (NSA) for information security.
  • Earn a strong academic credential from an online university well suited for professionals whose work does not always follow the clock.

Kennedy School of Government Center for Public Leadership will speak about the critical role of leadership in today's world. The event is free and open to Capella learners.
