A 2024 Grant for Blue Ridge Technical Center

The Criminal Justice Program at Blue Ridge Technical Center is growing fast. This grant will be used to purchase equipment to instruct and train students on the tools that law enforcement officers use daily. Students learn to use equipment such as training weapons (non-functioning), batons, belts and holsters, handcuffs and radio equipment to gain knowledge of criminal justice and associated programs. The students also use the equipment in SKILLSUSA competitions at the local and state levels, competing against students at other schools that teach criminal justice.
