Western provides a variety of public safety courses in Law Enforcement, Fire Service, and Emergency Medical Service (EMS), to help departments and personnel develop, improve, or maintain their skills and knowledge of their profession. Offerings range from entry-level academies to specific task- and operation-related certification classes. 

Instructors bring years of career experience to the classroom. In fact, many of our instructors are still active in their respective fields, bringing the most current techniques regionally and nationally back to the learning environment. They are committed to providing high-quality, hands-on education that will help you achieve your learning goals.

Course delivery options are designed to meet employer and student needs. Busy college students, employees, parents, and volunteers need classes that are convenient with locations and time offerings that fit within a variety of personal schedules. Western offers classes at both the Sparta Training Facility and La Crosse Campus and also provides many courses at agency locations. Night and weekend classes, as well as blended-online classes, are available.
