A partnership of state, local and federal public safety agencies, secondary and postsecondary educational institutions, and professional and educational associations, the National Partnership for Careers in Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security also serves as the lead organization for the Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security Career Cluster. The mission of the organization is "to build and support career development programs and systems that ensure seamless transitions by linking and integrating secondary and postsecondary education, professional certifications, and organizational recruitment, employment, training and retention systems." There are two main things that the organization focuses on: integrating more technology into the courses being taught and integrating career programs with academics. Another important area is connecting secondary programs with postsecondary schools through articulation or dual enrollment so that secondary students can earn college credits. Connecting the professions to their career programs is also important, and this is something that certain schools do very well. The National Partnership also plans to continue its efforts to ensure training and education is current, and to help create, sustain and improve career programs in law, public safety, corrections and security.
