Program Testimonials

In my opinion, Law Enforcement is one of the most engaging classes at LaGrone. I originally joined the class with the intention to learn about my rights, but I’ve learned so much more than that. Thanks to my experiences with the teacher, Mrs. King, I have been inspired to follow a career in Law Enforcement. 

 - LaGrone Student

  

I would say that this class is life changing. You learn many things like how to handcuff, the laws, how to do CPR, etc.

-LaGrone Student

Law Enforcement is not for weak-hearted people. Every day is different and we talk about law enforcement related things. Sometimes it’s a tough day, and other times we’re having the time of our lives. I enjoy being in law enforcement because it’s like having another family.

- LaGrone Student

If this is really the career that you want to follow, it is a great way to get right into it. My teacher is the best at her job and she really cares about all her students.
