We will continue the check-ins in 2025. Dates for the check-ins are:

January 30, 2025
May 1, 2025
August 14, 2025
November 20, 2025

The check-ins will now be on Microsoft Teams and will be sent prior to the event. These are a great opportunity to hear from other zoning officials about what is going on across the Commonwealth.

This foundation promotes best practices for Code Enforcement Officers, encourages professionalism, and provides training for how to conduct oneself safely. With so many of our members who enforce Zoning Ordinances this will be a great resource. We look forward to working with and collaborating with the Code Enforcement Officer Safety Foundation.
