Visit myJPIA to sign up for these trainings and embrace the spirit of National Safety Month. Members are provided with a wide array of unique trainings; however, if a training you would like to see isn’t offered, or if you would like to request training, contact your agency’s training registrar.

Additionally, if members are interested in setting aside dedicated in-person time to learn about risk mitigation, the California JPIA hosts various academies and summits aimed at expanding the skills of managers, supervisors, and public sector leaders. These programs are designed to provide practical solutions for everyday challenges. Access a full calendar of these trainings on the Authority’s academies/summits webpage.

As we celebrate National Safety Month, the California JPIA remains dedicated to providing comprehensive training and resources to help members create safer environments. By taking advantage of the Authority’s resources, members both meet regulatory requirements and foster a culture of safety and preparedness within their communities. For more information or assistance, please contact your regional risk manager or visit the California JPIA’s online resource library. In the resource library, use the filter drop-down and choose the “safety” category to see the safety resources available.

If you have questions or want more information, please contact the training team.
