Explore the EFSC’s Public Safety Institute web pages to find specific application information that’s customized for each program. Be sure to work with a program coordinator or advisor as you plan your program. Careers in public safety often require an increased level of background checks, testing and screening.

Be prepared for that increased scrutiny for our limited access programs because of Florida law and administrative code requirements about who’s eligible to enter a public safety/law enforcement training program.
