Welcome to the nonprofit organization, the
Southern Police Institute Alumni Association (SPIAA) - the
association for graduates of the Southern Police Institute. We offer SPIAA
members opportunities in training and re-training, access to law
enforcement data, materials, and information relevant to today's
law enforcement environment. One of our most critical training
opportunities for law enforcement is our annual training
conference. Focusing on leadership in today's global policing
environment, law enforcement officials from everywhere join us
for a week of advanced quality training, peer networking, and
our outreach and social programs. One of the most
significant assets of the Southern Police Institute is the
Southern Police Institute Alumni Association. Created during
1951 by graduates, the association has grown into one of the
most active alumni groups at the University of Louisville.
The Southern Police Institute (SPI)
is a division of the Department of Justice Administration,
College of Arts and Sciences, University of Louisville. It is an
advanced education and training institute whose mission is to
enhance the professional development of law enforcement
practitioners. This mission is accomplished by providing
educational and career development programs that are designed to
challenge and to prepare law enforcement practitioners for the
demands of today and tomorrow. The Southern Police Institute
consistently is ranked among the top law enforcement educational
and training schools in the nation. Since the creation of the
Southern Police Institute in 1951, its program of instruction
has been grounded in the belief that law enforcement is a
demanding activity requiring the highest level of professional
preparation. The Southern Police Institute was established by
its founders to provide a place where that preparation can be
undertaken. The faculty and staff dedicate themselves to this
mission and continue to maintain the standards of excellence
established by the founders. They are uniquely qualified as
researchers, consultants, teachers and former law enforcement
practitioners to guide and to direct the educational needs of
today's law enforcement professionals.
Graduates of the SPI are looked upon as knowledgeable
professionals in law enforcement fields. Membership in the
prestigious SPIAA shows continuing interest in your
professional career and your dedication to professional self-development.
The
Executive Board of the SPIAA welcomes you to explore the
