Correctional training completes pilot program

These students were part of a pilot program of the new correctional training curriculum recently introduced by The Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The Gulf/Franklin Campus of Gulf Coast State College, in Port St. Joe was one of seven training centers in the state selected to pilot the new curriculum, which allows for shorter class times, saving students money and preparing them for employment a month sooner than the previous class requirements.
