A month after the 9/11 terrorist attack in 2001, an advisory group met in Little Rock, Arkansas, to begin the development of the Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security (LPSCS) career cluster. At that time there were five pathways of what was then called the Law and Public Safety cluster--fire and emergency services, law enforcement, protective services (security), corrections, and legal services (law). In a little over a year the initial work on the cluster had been completed; however the National Association of State Directors for Career and Technical Education (NASDCTE) (which the U.S. Department of Education had provided some funding to complete the remaining 11 clusters) and the LPSCS advisory group realized that more work would have to be done. Some of the pathways were not as solid as they could be, especially in terms of knowledge and skill statements. There was also a need to have a group that would support the use of the LPSCS cluster in the career programs around the country. However, by 2002, the Bush Administration had decided not to continue to support the career cluster initiative; nevertheless, NASDCTE and its member states decided to continue to push for the use of the career clusters at the state and local levels. This article takes a look at how programming has evolved since the cluster's development began in 2001, and what the future holds.
