Knowledge empowers students to consciously and rationally use good judgment, make better decisions, and ultimately act in voluntary compliance with the law. The program is fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency Region 20 under the Tech Prep Program. Bee County Community College of Southwest Texas State University recognizes the course for college credit, and San Antonio College offers credit on a case by case basis. The program targets sophomore, junior, and senior high school students. Students are selected based on interest, performance, and regular attendance in school.
Instruction is provided by licensed criminal justice practitioners.
Instructors are specially selected for their ability to serve as positive role models to the students. Each agency assumes a shared responsibility for achieving the program objectives. Agency representatives serve as program coordinators, instructors, or guest speakers. Other contributions include classroom space, ride-alongs, sponsored field trips, and educational materials. The Alamo Area Council of Governments will work with your community to implement this program.
