This class also focuses on criminal investigative techniques, state traffic and criminal law, and gives you an inside view of the wide variety of law enforcement career choices offered by local, state and federal agencies. Another componant of the class includes learning fire suppression techniques while in full firefighter turnout gear along with hazardous materials incident management and awareness level certification in responding to emergency situations. Students will also have the opportunity to become certified at the state and national levels as an EMS First Responder (required for all police and firefighters in Minnesota) or as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).
