Kristen is the former Police Chief of the Aurora IL Police Department (Ret.).

Kristen was also the Chief on watch during a mass shooting in her hometown Aurora, IL.
Since retiring from the department, Kristen has now stepped into her new career as a professional speaker and consultant for organizations and police departments focused on the areas of leadership, women empowerment, positive psychology, and mass shooting prevention.
Kristen is also the author of Reimagining Blue: Thoughts on Life, Leadership, and a New Way Forward in Policing, a passionate and personal memoir of a misunderstood profession through the vantage point of a female police chief.
9mm Marksmanship Competition added to Summer Showdown!
We have obtained the use of an outdoor range and will now add the National Marksmanship Competition as an individual event to the Summer Showdown. The National Marksmanship Competition (NMC) is an individual event limited to 220 competitors that serves as a unique opportunity for Cadets to demonstrate the safe and proper handling of firearms in a competitive environment while contributing to the development of skills required by the law enforcement profession. This is not a team event and th e Classification System is not applicable. The competitor capacity was determined by availability of firing points at the range. Assignment to a relay will be based on the competitor’s highest scores previously fired on two Public Safety Cadets Center Fire Pistol Courses (PSCCFPC) submitted on the NMC Firearms Training Certification Form. The highest 220 aggregate scores submitted will be assigned a relay to compete in the NMC.
Entry requests with all required forms must be submitted via email and received by June 30, 2023. Please read all attachments completely in order to submit entry requests to: nctc@publicsafetycadets.org.
