The 120-acre North Bay Campus in Southport was established in 1990 to elevate law enforcement firearms and driver training in the region. In 1996, the high-tech Burn Building Training Simulator was added to enhance Firefighter training. In 1999, the Division of Public Safety moved from the Technology Building on the Panama City Campus to the Charles H. Abbott building at North Bay. In 2005, a proposal was made to use approximately 15 acres to relocate and expand the Bay County Emergency Operations Center. The joint-use facility was completed in 2010 with the opening of the College’s 50,000 square-foot Public Safety Building, which provides office, classroom, and training space to the Division, and is also home to the Bay County Emergency Services Department, the County 9-1-1 call/dispatch center, and the Emergency Operations Center.

Located in Port St. Joe, Florida, the Gulf/Franklin Campus offers credit, continuing education and personal enrichment programs. The satellite campus was opened in 1998 to provide a convenient, quality education to meet the area’s workforce needs. View a Gulf/Franklin Campus Map.
