Policing Fellows at the National Policing Institute are current rank-and-file members (lieutenant and below) of criminal justice organizations whose knowledge, experience, and perspectives help advance the Institute's mission. They serve as members of the President’s Practitioner Advisory Board to help ensure the Institute stays grounded in a comprehensive understanding of the practical needs of law enforcement organizations, particularly as it relates to the rank-and-file. In addition, Policing Fellows serve as the Institute's regional representatives in national and international settings. Policing Fellows work on specific projects, represent the Institute in meetings and conferences, and develop substantive thought pieces about the pressing issues facing policing. They serve for terms determined by the Institute's President.
