Central Community College in Grand Island, Neb., is getting a major boost in its criminal justice program thanks to a $750,000 donation from Hornady Manufacturing.
The money will go to the Hornady Criminal Justice Fund, which will support scholarships and grants for the college's criminal justice program, the Grand Island Independent reports.
The company's president says the donation shows Hornady's commitment to the community and reflects the company's desire to support the college's programs.
Students from local law enforcement agencies as well as schools in the area use the college's new crime house, which will be named the Hornady Crime House when it's completed in 2023.
"This type of hands-on experience is as real as it gets," the program's director says.

Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a 1970s book by author Paulo Freire, envisions a world not as a given reality, but as “a problem to be worked on and solved.” That mentality is often applied to the greatest social entrepreneurs.
