“The Academy” – Three Great Sites
Welcome! Now that we are successfully settled into our new central academy site on Gavilan College’s new Bailey Ave campus we can break into broad smiles and enjoy the wonderful Coyote Valley environment. Our expanding Fire/EMT programs and academies have joined us as well. We are really excited about this development. Our stellar law enforcement academies on the College of San Mateo campus and Monterey Peninsula College’s Seaside campus (Fort Ord) join with our impressive central Gavilan academy to serve regional agencies and all receive excellent reviews. South Bay’s relationships with our partner agencies, Fire/EMT, Law Enforcement, Dispatch, and beyond are genuinely appreciated. Training and testing top-quality public safety personnel is truly a team effort in every regard. Thanks to all! Our relationship with California Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) and the State Fire Training has never been better where we enjoy the trust to administer their many programs that serve regional needs. A heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of our wonderful instructors throughout our system for a job well done. Please continue to browse through our website to discover the many course offerings available and call or stop by any of our campuses for more information.
