Law and Public Safety (LPS) programs provide
students with industry-aligned instruction in law enforcement, legal studies,
and fire science, emphasizing civic responsibility, ethical decision-making,
and public safety operations. Through hands-on training and real-world
application, students gain foundational knowledge in criminal justice,
emergency response, constitutional law, forensic science, legal research, and
fire service operations. These pathways prepare students for careers in law
enforcement, firefighting, legal professions, emergency management, homeland
security, and related public service fields, equipping them with the skills to
serve, protect, and uphold justice in their communities.
