The Homeland Security Education Center is an epicenter for multi-jurisdictional training in the Midwest. It is designed to prepare first responders for international and domestic terrorist acts, as well as man-made and natural disasters. The 60,000-square-foot facility houses the College of DuPage’s Criminal Justice and Fire Science Technology programs, as well as the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy and the COD Police Department.
