Public Safety Academy, based in Brandon, Florida, trains and certifies professionals in EMS, fire service, and law enforcement/security, with the aim of preparing them for a lifetime of public service. In addition to serving public-safety personnel, the institution offers courses for the general public and seeks to connect students with career opportunities in public safety. Courses generally meet or exceed state and national standards, and the majority are open to non-professional students seeking relevant credentials. The organization operates with a small-to-mid-sized staff. The academy provides educational opportunities and certifications in Emergency Medicine, Scuba Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine, and Firearms. Its mission centers on strengthening public safety by delivering training and career pathways to students. In December 2023, Public Safety Academy received an AP Honor Roll award.
