Last night, the CSI/LE class had the honor of volunteering with Hero Fund USA at their annual Dining with Heroes fundraising event. Proceeds go to the Surviving Spouse and Family Endowment Fund. We were honored to be a small part of a great cause! – at Independence, MO
Happy Halloween from the PM class! They also rocked their test and partied hard! @FOCTC
Happy Halloween from the AM class! They rocked their Criminal Terminology Test first thing and had a party to celebrate!
Thank you to the BSPD for inviting our class to volunteer at National Night Out! 21 students volunteered for parking/traffic control. It wasn’t all work though! They also were able to network with LE agencies and other vendors from around the metro and enjoy treats and swag!
Friday, we had a visit from class Alumni Nora McDaniel and her boss Sgt Krahenbuhl. Nora, who is a 2023 grad, spoke presented her job as a Safe team member for UCM DPS. Nora helps LE officers by conducting foot patrol, business checks, and safety escorts for fellow students.
12 students from CSI/LE had the privilege of participating in the Constitution Project Competition in JeffCity on 9/20. During this year's kick-off, students debated a fictional bill on the floor of the House of Reps. Stay tuned as they participate in two more segments soon!
We had a blast at the Blue Springs Fall Fun Fest getting to know our community and showing off some of the skills we’ve been learning in class. @FOCTC
Last week was our CPR/Stop the Bleed week for the CSI/LE class and the EMT/Fire Science class! Our students learned life saving techniques that will help them serve their communities and possibly save their own lives someday.
Tonight, 7 CSI/LE students travelled to NWMO State Univ. in Maryville to climb in their 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb honoring the fallen first responders of the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. These students climbed 2170 steps carrying pictures of the fallen. Never forget.
Today we remember those first responders who ran toward danger when others ran from it during the terror attacks of 9/11/2001. We strive to learn valuable lessons from that day and as always to Never Forget.
We’ve had an incredible first couple of weeks of school! From getting to know one another to prepping duty belts to playing with Thornton the therapy dog, our class is in full swing and ready for success!
We can’t wait to have Thornton in class this year! #therapydogsrock #foctc.
Congratulations to Braylen Still, our 2022-2023 PM Class Captain, as he begins his Coast Guard journey! We know he will excel and make a huge impact in the lives of many! @FOCTC – at Blue Springs, MO

Yesterday the CSI class had the opportunity to visit the USCGC Gasconade, a 75-ft. river buoy tender. She serves the Missouri River from Glasgow to Sioux City, Iowa. Thank you to BMC Frank Foley and the crew of the Gasconade.

Thornton's coming home to CTC, and we have our incredible community to thank. Between private donations and a fundraiser with Andy's Frozen Custard in Blue Springs, we are at $2,845 in just 17 days. Thank you!! Thornton will begin training in June.
