"The Law Enforcement EFE program made me realize how fun and interesting it is to be a police officer. It also showed me that the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety is a great department, full of great people. This program put me on the path to where I am today, a KDPS Public Safety Officer." — Devin Palmer, former EFE Law Enforcement student
