The Virginia Center for Policing Innovation first introduced the Power Series in 2004 to bring top-notch speakers and cutting-edge topics to the public safety community. We are proud to continue this tradition and are confident that you will agree that VCPI continues to have its finger on the pulse of issues important in our communities and those charged with protecting and serving in all public safety arenas.
