Recruits in Gateway Technical College’s Law Enforcement Academy traded in their traditional academy uniforms for jeans yesterday as part of Denim Day.

Denim Day is an international campaign that shows support for survivors of sexual violence and raises awareness about harmful attitudes and misconceptions surrounding sexual assault.

Class 51 is currently in their final phase of the academy where much of the curriculum is centered around investigations like sensitive crimes. They will come away from the academy knowing how they respond to these types of calls matters.

We’re excited to be at Elkhorn today for “Yo Puedo” sharing information about Criminal Justice Studies and the Law Enforcement Academies! On the agenda for today - high school students will learn about the legal aspects and substantiating offenses, physical skills and requirements, as well as collecting evidence to support cases. Dream it, train for it, do it!

Obtain training for your Concealed Carry Weapon license through Gateway Technical College’s comprehensive Concealed Carry Workshop. Our training emphasizes safety, and meets and exceeds Wisconsin’s concealed carry law requirements.

Training is conducted by Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ)-certified instructors who are active and former law enforcement officers. Gateway's Instructors will provide quality, hands-on training to attendees. We know that carrying a weapon is a great responsibility. This workshop is six hours, which exceeds the DOJ’s recommended number of hours to receive a concealed carry license. Attendees will have time to familiarize themselves with handguns and will be able to participate in live familiarization. This includes the ability to practice shooting with a semi-automatic firearm on our state of the art indoor range.

Carrying a handgun may not be for everyone. Those who complete the workshop and get their license are allowed by Wisconsin law to carry an electric weapon.

The workshop will cover topics to include but not limited to fi****ms safety, legalities related to concealed carry, proper carry methods and obtaining your CCW license. In addition to meeting the license requirements, with the Gateway Technical College workshop, attendees will leave confident in their knowledge and abilities.
