The schools attracted students who thought they would become licensed peace officers, when in fact those diplomas were worthless.
A court injunction will force Globe to stop its deceptive marketing. The judge will now decide if students are entitled to restitution.
The schools said they are proud of the role they play in strengthening the workforce.
