Veterans

Most veterans have qualities and training that are exactly what the Institute of Public Safety is looking for in first responders, such as police officers, paramedics and firefighters. Military police transition very easily to civilian police, and combat medics undoubtedly make some of the very best paramedics. Best of all, your G.I. Bill 33 pays for everything from tuition and books to living expenses. Our staff encourages and respectfully requests that you consider IPS programs if you're a returning veteran, as it sometimes makes the transition much easier.
