"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
"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."
-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."

"We learn things like fingerprinting, crime sketching, photographing the crime scenes, etc. The teacher, Mr. Peterson, is a nice and caring teacher who is always cracking jokes, making his students laugh, and is always willing to help his students."
-LaGrone Student
"Criminal Investigation is filled with so many projects and cool assignments such as crime scene maps, finger printing and many more fun activities. Mr. Peterson is a funny teacher and makes sure all the assignments are hands-on so we can learn the information in an exciting way."
