As one of the premier public safety academies in the nation, the highly regarded Public Safety Program at Crafton Hills College has been preparing students for employment with fire departments and emergency medical response teams since 1982. The new facilities were designed specifically to accommodate the fire academy requirements for cadets seeking their certification as fire fighters, and will train students in conditions that replicate real-life emergency situations. The new Public Safety Training Center is expected to be complete in December 2023. This facility completes the advanced Public Safety and Allied Health Facilities constructed in 2015 on the campus.
