Any & all advice and info. pertaining to my onslaught of inquiries would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Florida Sen. Nan H. Rich was instrumental, this past legislative session, in securing the approval of $6.9 million in funding to renovate Broward College’s Institute of Public Safety (IPS) on the A. Hugh Adams Central Campus in Davie, which dates from 1971. On June 15th the college hosted an appreciation luncheon for Sen. Rich at the IPS, gave her an exciting, hands-on tour of the Police Academy training facilities, awarded her a medal of honor at a special formation by cadets, and member of the Board of Trustees Sean Alveshire presented her with a commemorative plaque. Trustee Alveshire expressed appreciation to Sen. Rich for all she has done for the college over the years, and especially for the funding for renovating the IPS building, which he called “a facility that plays such a key role in training those who keep our community and our country safe.”
Dignitaries Attend Event
More than 60 people attended the event, including Lauderhill Police Chief Ken Pachnek and Broward County Sheriff Al Lamberti. Broward College’s Special Assistant to the President for Governmental Relations Barbara Cohen Pippin organized the outstanding festivities and was credited by Sen. Rich for her role in getting this funding for the college. IPS Dean Linda Wood led the tour. Every year, more than 500 new officers graduate from the Broward College Police Academy, trained for police forces throughout the state. The college has had an amazing100 percent pass rate for graduates on the State Officer’s Certification Exam for the past six academy classes. In addition, more than 5,000 men and women also pursue professional development opportunities at the Institute annually.

Looking Forward to Ribbon-Cutting
Sen. Rich, said, humbly, “I feel like I’m just a spoke in the wheel and there were many who helped accomplish this.” She also said that she looks forward to coming back next year for the ribbon-cutting when renovations are completed.
