Fellows

The Institute's Fellowship Program

Fellows at the National Policing Institute (the Institute) are current or former members of criminal justice organizations whose knowledge, experience, and skills help support and advance the Institute's mission. Fellows serve on subject-matter working groups, focused on areas aligned with the Institute's strategic priorities, to help ensure the Institute is grounded in a comprehensive understanding of the practical needs of law enforcement organizations and practitioners. Fellows work on specific projects, represent the Institute in meetings and conferences, and develop substantive thought pieces and resources to address the pressing issues facing policing. Fellows serve for three-year terms, renewable once by the Institute's president.

The application window for the Fellowship Program will open on April 1st of each calendar year and remain open through June 30th of each calendar year. If you are interested in applying for the Fellowship Program, please check this page for application instructions during the application window.
