LAW ENFORCEMENT PUBLIC SAFETY

CFCC’s Continuing Education Law Enforcement Program provides a variety of ongoing training for area law enforcement, detention, corrections and telecommunicators.

Training varies from required inservice (as mandated by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education Training and Standards and/or the North Carolina Sheriff’s Education Training and Standards) to more specialized training in underwater crime scene investigation, leadership, property and evidence room to name a few. Our training enables area responders to remain current and provides an opportunity for agencies to train together in the event of an actual emergency.
