The Law Enforcement Academy at Northwest Florida State College (NWFSC) has graduated its latest class of cadets, preparing them to serve in local law enforcement agencies across the region.
Graduates from the program have secured positions with the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, Walton County Sheriff’s Office, and Niceville Police Department, while others are actively seeking employment with agencies such as the Crestview Police Department, Fort Walton Beach Police Department, Valparaiso Police Department, and Shalimar Police Department.
“The success of the NWFSC Law Enforcement Academy is a direct result of the hard work and sacrifice of its students, as well as the exceptional adjunct instructors who are current and retired law enforcement officers,” said Wes Haggan, Law Enforcement Coordinator at the Public Safety Training Center.

Haggan noted that in addition to training recruits, the academy provides continuing education for sworn officers, many of whom are program graduates. The program also supports certified officers from other states seeking to meet Florida’s requirements to become sworn officers.
The Public Safety Training Center at NWFSC serves as a regional resource for law enforcement training, reinforcing standards for both new and experienced officers.
