Foundation Background

The Foundation for Public Safety Training has a close connection with South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium (“SBRPSTC”) because SBRPSTC is an organization that provides public safety training as a consortium of ten community colleges in the Bay Nine Northern California Region Area.  SBRPSTC provides police academies, fire academies, EMS and Dispatch programs, explorer scout programs, and wide range of other public safety training related courses and curriculum.    

The Foundation for Public Safety Training will provide funds and services to the SBRPSTC in order to improve SBRPSTC facilities, increase and develop educational and extracurricular programs, and generally enhance the educational experience.

Programs

The purpose of our programs are to promote and advance public safety training education, and support other organizations conducting public safety charitable activities in our community. We further our purposes under this program by establishing a community advisory committee to connect local businesses with the South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium’s goals, develop programs for students to gain vocational experience, and to provide funding to improve or develop educational and extracurricular programs in the South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium (“SBRPSTC”) community and students.
