This morning, our BLET cadets and Fire Academy cadets came together at the Emergency Services Training Center for a Memorial Climb to honor the fallen firefighters and emergency personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving others.

As part of the memorial, our cadets climbed our CCCC drill tower, taking each step in remembrance of the heroes of September 11, 2001.

The traditional 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb represents the 110 stories and approximately 2,200 steps of the World Trade Center towers—the climb firefighters made as they carried their gear upward to reach those who needed help.

The 343 firefighters of the FDNY never had the opportunity to complete that climb.

Today, our cadets used our drill tower to symbolically complete those steps in their honor and to remember the courage and sacrifice of all the first responders who gave their lives that day.

It was powerful to see our future law enforcement officers and firefighters come together, side by side, to honor those who showed the ultimate commitment to protecting and serving others.

We remember the firefighters.
We remember the law enforcement officers.
We remember the EMTs and paramedics.
We remember every emergency responder who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget. 🇺🇸

This week, our BLET cadets have been diving into Criminal Investigation, an important part of their training as they prepare for careers in law enforcement.

Cadets learned about the investigative process, including the importance of observing details, accurately documenting information, collecting and preserving evidence, conducting interviews, and properly preparing reports.

Accurate and thorough documentation is a critical part of any investigation and can make a significant difference when a case moves forward to court.

Good documentation helps ensure that important details are not overlooked and that the facts of an investigation are clearly and accurately recorded.

The cadets also had the opportunity to put their knowledge and skills into practice through multiple practical scenarios.

This hands-on exercise allowed them to experience what it is like to work through an investigation, identify important details, and properly document their findings.

A special thank you to the CCCC Fire Academy cadets for volunteering their time and helping us with the practical scenario.

Your participation helped make this training more realistic and provided our BLET cadets with a valuable hands-on learning experience.

We are proud of the hard work, dedication, and commitment our cadets continue to show as they prepare for their future careers in law enforcement!

Congratulations to the recent Central Carolina Community College Detention Officer cadets on successfully completing their training!

These officers worked hard and dedicated themselves to completing the required training to prepare for the important responsibilities of working in a detention facility.

Throughout the course, they completed blocks of instruction covering PREA (Prison R**e Elimination Act), mandated jail rounds, medical procedures, transportation of inmates, contraband, and many other important state-mandated topics.

A Detention Officer plays a critical role in the safety and security of a detention facility.

Their responsibilities include maintaining the security and order of the facility, supervising and monitoring inmates, conducting security checks and rounds, responding to emergencies, transporting inmates, recognizing medical needs, preventing the introduction of contraband, and ensuring inmates are treated safely and appropriately according to established laws, policies, and procedures.

This is a demanding profession that requires integrity, professionalism, communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

We are proud of the hard work and dedication each of these officers demonstrated throughout the course.

Their training has prepared them to take on the challenges and responsibilities that come with serving as a Detention Officer.

Congratulations to the entire class!

We wish each of you a safe and successful career as you begin this important chapter in your law enforcement journey.

Job well done!

BLET First Responders Training

Last week, our Central Carolina Community College Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) cadets completed their First Responders block of instruction, gaining essential skills that every law enforcement officer may need in the field.

During this training, the cadets learned:

* CPR and lifesaving emergency care
*How to recognize the signs and symptoms of a variety of medical emergencies
*How to assess and care for patients until advanced medical help arrives
* Emergency childbirth and how to assist during a delivery until EMS arrives
*How to protect themselves while providing emergency care through proper safety precautions and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

Law enforcement officers are often the first to arrive on the scene of a medical emergency.

This training helps ensure our future officers are prepared to respond with confidence, compassion, and professionalism when every second counts.

A special thank you to Chloe Fuquay, Ian Jones, Jackson Owens, Tabitha Brown, Georgia Schmidt, and Eva Schwartz for volunteering their time to serve as patients during our practical exercises.

Your participation helped create realistic training scenarios that allowed our cadets to apply their skills in a hands-on learning environment.

We truly appreciate your willingness to help make this training a success!

We are proud of the hard work and dedication these cadets continue to demonstrate as they prepare to serve and protect our communities.

We were excited to give the Lee County School- Project Lift Off an inside look at how the Emergency Services Training Center serves the community.
During our demonstration, we showed them how first responders like EMTs,Firefighters and law enforcement officers—train to handle real-life emergencies and the different equipment we have to train on.
We explained and demonstrated how we offer hands-on, realistic training scenarios that prepare these professionals to act quickly and effectively in crisis situations.
It was a great opportunity to help the kids understand the importance of emergency preparedness and inspire them to consider careers in public safety.
Most importantly, we wanted them to see how our community works together to stay safe.

This week, our BLET class participated in a Crowd Control block of instruction, focusing on the critical role law enforcement officers play in maintaining public safety during large gatherings, demonstrations, and high-stress incidents.

This training emphasized the importance of communication, teamwork, situational awareness, and decision-making while ensuring the safety of the public, officers, and everyone involved. Students learned proper crowd management techniques, de-escalation strategies, and the legal responsibilities officers must follow during crowd-related events.

Through classroom instruction and practical exercises, cadets gained valuable knowledge on how to respond professionally and effectively in rapidly changing situations while protecting constitutional rights and maintaining order.

Training like this prepares future officers to handle challenging situations with professionalism, restraint, and confidence.
