            At the High School level, students cover a broad range of topics related to law enforcement. Students experience the physical requirements for entering POST (Peace Officer Standards Training) academy and begin training at their appropriate grade level. However, the class does not serve as a junior police academy. Students explore various opportunities in law enforcement, including history, laws, and current best practices. They also learn about roles in criminal justice in local and federal agencies. The curriculum covers roles such as Fish and Game officers, correctional officers, and military police. Students participate in pre-law activities to prepare for law school or a career in paralegal work.

 

Throughout the two-year track, students attend career fairs, participate in physical training, build mental resilience, and learn firearm safety and defensive techniques. The program also emphasizes effective writing techniques, attention to detail, teamwork, accountability, responsibility, and leadership.

 

Students receive Writing Composition ISEEs - 01003 writing credit for this track. The track may conclude with a final-semester internship. The internship is developed according to students' needs and gives hands-on experience to complement classroom learning.
