The business of public safety: NWI consortium the first of its kind

Public safety agencies across Northwest Indiana are changing the way they do business to provide better services to their communities and create or maintain the environment needed for economic development and growth.

In 2014, 15 agencies across the region joined with Indiana University Northwest and NIPSCO to create the Northwest Indiana Public Safety Data Consortium, a privately funded, university administered collaborative mapping system that is the first of its kind in the nation.
