Program Description: The Institute for Public Service was created by the legislature in 1971 “to provide continuing research and technical assistance to state and local government and industry and to meet more adequately the need for information and research in business and government.” To help meet this legislatively mandated mission, the Institute is composed of several agencies and units, including the Municipal Technical Advisory Service, the County Technical Assistance Service, the Center for Industrial Services, the Center for Government Training, and the Law Enforcement Innovation Center. IPS staff professionals provide on-site technical assistance and training, as well as regional conferences and programs on a variety of issues. The Institute is able to do this by operating offices across the state in Chattanooga, Cookeville, Jackson, Johnson City, Knoxville, Martin, Memphis, and Nashville.
