Many first responders are looking for a cost effective, time efficient, and high-quality educational opportunity that will prepare them for promotion. Arapahoe Community College offers a bachelor of applied science in Emergency Service Administration (ESA) aimed at students with a response background and designed to maximize previous college credit. 

For students with a previously earned associate degree, ACC transfers in 60 credits of coursework towards a bachelor’s, allowing students to begin the program as a college junior.  For students just starting their higher education journey, POST certification counts for 40 credits towards a dual associate’s in law enforcement and bachelor’s in Emergency Service Administration—all offered at a community college tuition rate.  ESA students are commonly balancing life and careers during their studies. Our innovative, accredited, fully online two-year program is designed for flexibility with students’ schedules. 

The curriculum provides students with knowledge and training to be leaders in managing emergencies and crises while preparing them to rise through the ranks of emergency services.  Leadership-based instruction is provided by experienced faculty and instructors representing the broad field of emergency services. 

Take your emergency services career to the next level with ACC’s BAS degree in Emergency Service Administration.

 Deploying Smartphones as Body Cameras: A Cost-Effective, All-in-One Solution

Visual Labs provides an alternative to expensive, single-purpose body camera hardware.  By adding Visual Labs software to any Android smartphone, an agency gets a CJIS-compliant body worn camera solution, while retaining all the functionality of the smartphone itself.  Additionally, the Visual Labs solution includes features such as a digital camera, an audio recorder and a personnel locator.  Body camera footage is uploaded directly from the field and can be viewed by authorized personnel within minutes of an incident.  There are no docking stations, routers, special uniforms or other ancillary equipment needed -- just the smartphone itself -- which is often provided for free by cellular carriers.

The solution includes many officer safety features such as the ability to remotely activate a live video stream from the smartphone for real time situational awareness.  The storage of all footage in a secure cloud environment is included on the low monthly cost.  Visual Labs also provides in-vehicle and interview room camera solutions.
