Law enforcement agencies across the Houston region and throughout Texas continue to hire graduates of Houston City College’s Basic Peace Officer Program, citing the program’s consistent results, rigorous training and strong partnerships with employers.

On a Sunday afternoon, when the restaurant is typically closed, the Chick-fil-A in Deer Park opened its doors to students from the HCC Interpreting Training/American Sign Language (ASL) program.

For the HCC students, it was community service, professional training and something far more personal all at once.
