During Your Stay

The Center for Domestic Preparedness provides local transportation to and from all training areas and support facilities on a scheduled basis. Student Support Services operates a scheduled route shuttle service from the CDP lodging area Sunday through Friday until 10 p.m., with slight variations to start and end times depending on the route. The shuttle service routes support local businesses and shopping centers within Jacksonville, Anniston and Oxford, Alabama. The telephone number to a local taxi service is provided on the back of each student badge for after service hours or for any travel to locations apart from the scheduled routes. The cost of using a taxi service is the responsibility of the student.

Dormitory lodging is provided at our training site to state, tribal and local students at no cost to you or your jurisdiction. You will stay in a comfortable single room with a full-size bed and adjoining shared bathroom. Amenities include maid service, telephone, in-room coffee service, flat screen television, wireless internet, and a radio with built-in alarm clock. For security purposes, lodging is available to enrolled students and authorized staff only.

Note: Federal and all other students pay a $25 daily rate.
