Working with prominent researchers, the CPSE Center for Innovation provides actionable recommendations and implementation strategies to address challenges. By conducting new public administration and public policy research, we will assist the fire and emergency service in solving problems before they become a crisis.
Strategic Scans
The Actionable Research program includes our Strategic Scans, where we ask fire agencies accredited by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International® and Chief Fire Officers® designated by the Commission on Professional Credentialing® how they are approaching emerging issues. The purpose of the Scans is to “pulse check” how organizations are responding, help others avoid blind spots, build shared situational awareness across the fire service, and support preparation for what’s coming.
