It was great to welcome alumni, current students, faculty, and staff back to the Public Safety Training Complex in Lompoc for our recent Public Safety Alumni BBQ.

The event brought together graduates from Hancock's law enforcement, fire, and EMS programs for an afternoon of food, connection, and shared stories. It was a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of our alumni, strengthen professional networks, and inspire the next generation of public safety professionals.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to support the Hancock public safety community.
