ABOUT IPS
About The UT Institute for Public Service
The statewide UT Institute for Public Service (IPS) provides university expertise for communities and workplaces by consulting daily with government, law enforcement and industry leaders. In fiscal year 2018, IPS services contributed more than $1.4 billion to Tennessee’s economy as local governments and industries increased revenue, won contracts or reduced operating costs. For nearly 60 years, IPS agencies have led the university’s outreach efforts, extending the university to all communities in the state.

IPS plays a key role in the public service component of the University of Tennessee by assisting city and county governments in Tennessee and by training law enforcement personnel on a local, regional and national level. With offices in every region of the state, IPS also helps Tennessee manufacturers reduce costs and increase revenue.
