NIPSCO has announced that 16 organizations throughout northern Indiana will be able to further their public safety initiatives as a result of support from the 2023 NIPSCO Public Safety Education and Training Grants program. Over the past six years, a total of 94 projects geared towards community and youth public safety education projects as well as training for first responders, police and fire departments have received grants.
“Safety is at the core of everything we do and one of the reasons we continue offering public safety education programs and trainings for the public,” said Mike Hooper, NIPSCO President. “We are pleased to support local organizations in our service area whose goals align with reducing safety incidents and are aimed at educating the public about ways to keep themselves and others safe.”
