Capital Area Technical Center

Captain Josh W. Jacques tells his story

"I was in the Law Enforcement Program as it was called at the time
(Criminal Justice) and graduated in 1997.  I learned about the value of
physical training and how to properly wear a uniform.  I later chose a
career as an Army Officer because of many of my experiences at CATC.
Many criminal justice agencies are looking for military service as a
prerequisite for applicants. The weapon safety class at CATC played a
huge role as my first experience with a handgun.  I didn't know it at
the time but years later, I would carry the same weapon a Beretta 9 MM
everyday as my backup weapon as a military transition team member
embedded with an Iraqi Infantry Battalion.  The program prepared me for
success in college and my career as an Army Officer."
