Public Safety & Community Advocacy: Now and Future Forward
To protect and serve is a very personal career choice and based on one’s interest in law enforcement, firefighting, crime prevention, emergency services, forensics, security, intelligence or technology. When lives are at risk, it takes a special kind of person to answer the call. Cook County law enforcement openings are expected to rise nearly 14% in 2024.
Firefighter employment is projected to grow 4% from 2023 to 2033 in Illinois and across the U.S. From rescues to lending a helping hand, a public safety career offers many opportunities to serve families, neighbors and communities and to protect our streets, buildings and transportation venues. A public safety program allows learners to explore careers that are personally rewarding and community-focused.
