The current Occupational Outlook Handbook clearly demonstrates the need for not only more UPSA professionals, but for better-prepared applicants. NSU can help you prepare for entry into federal, state and local agencies.

The very dangerous, continually increasing and evolving threats to homeland security and cybercrime have mandated a new need for public safety professionals.
