Blue River Career Programs offers multiple educational options to students in Shelby County. Here is a look at one of its programs.
The Criminal Justice CTE program prepares students for careers in law enforcement, legal studies, corrections, and public service by blending academic knowledge with real-world skills.
Students explore criminal law, investigative procedures, ethics, and community safety while developing critical thinking, communication, and leadership abilities.
