Law and public safety is part of the Granbury ISD
career and technical education program.
Classes are offered to provide overviews for jobs in public service as
well as local, state, and federal law enforcement. Students explore the legal system in addition
to constitutional and criminal law through mock trials, traffic stops, arrest
procedures, and court systems. Advanced
courses are available in criminal investigation, forensic science, forensic
psychology, and practicums with local agencies.
Davis leads the law and public safety classes,
while forensics is taught by Darlene Windham.
Serving as mentors are individuals with the sheriff’s office and
Granbury Police Department.
