An outgrowth <strong>of</strong> the ELP program called the Pacific<br />
Executive Leaders Program (PELP) was designed to<br />
meet homeland security challenges in the Pacific region.<br />
Lastly, the Fusion Center Leaders Program (FCLP) was<br />
created to enhance practices <strong>of</strong> fusion center leaders to<br />
collect, analyze and distribute information pertaining to<br />
crime and terrorism related activities.<br />
CHDS has led homeland security education through numerous<br />
additional initiatives. The University and Agency<br />
Partnership Initiative Program (UAPI) freely shares the<br />
Center’s programs and resources with educational institutions<br />
nationwide. This “multiplier effect” has created<br />
a network <strong>of</strong> over 300 partner institutions and expands<br />
the Center’s academic programs beyond the institution<br />
and across the nation. Additionally, CHDS has conducted<br />
280 Mobile Education Team (MET) seminars, which<br />
are tailored to senior leadership at state and local levels<br />
to address homeland security challenges unique to their<br />
jurisdictions.<br />
While not a large institution, CHDS has a pr<strong>of</strong>ound<br />
national influence on homeland security education<br />
with minimal operational overhead. Its overall reach<br />
includes 700 Master’s alumni, 450 ELP alumni, 10,500<br />
MET program participants, 12,000 Self Study program<br />
participants, 338 UAPI partners, and 136,000 <strong>Homeland</strong><br />
