Tri-C Public Safety Summer Academy: Learning About Life as a First Responder

Public Safety Dean Clayton Harris talks about program on Majic Morning Show

Extinguishing fires. Investigating crimes. Saving a life.

Those are just some of the training simulations offered at Tri-C’s Public Safety Summer Academy, a three-week program designed to introduce high school sophomores and juniors to careers in public safety.

The free academy runs June 10-28 at the KeyBank Public Safety Training Center, located at Tri-C’s Western Campus in Parma. The academy is made possible through a partnership with KeyBank.

On May 6, the Majic Morning Show on WMJI/105.7 FM welcomed Tri-C’s Clayton Harris to talk about the program. Harris is the vice president and dean of public safety and security at the College.

Harris told the morning crew that hands-on training at the academy provides teens a glimpse at the life of a first responder. (The Majic Morning Show posted the interview online as a podcast.)

“They see what we actually do, and that they can do that, too,” he said.
