Program Description: The Institute for Public Service was created in 1971 “to provide continuing research and technical assistance to state and local government and industry and to meet more adequately the need for information and research in business and government.” To help meet this legislatively mandated mission, the Institute is composed of several agencies including the Municipal Technical Advisory Service, the County Technical Assistance Service, the Center for Industrial Services, the Law Enforcement Innovation Center and the Naifeh Center for Effective Leadership. IPS staff professionals provide on-site technical assistance and training, as well as regional conferences and programs on a variety of issues. The Institute is able to do this by operating offices across the state as well as utilizing a variety of technology platforms.
