Curriculm
Today’s law enforcement
officers must be knowledgeable in
many different areas if they are to
function effectively in a complex
society. They must be: 1) able to
deal with individuals on all levels
of society, 2) skilled in most
operational techniques, and 3) able
to act in legal matters requiring
trained law personnel and split
second decisions.
It is the intent of the two-year
Criminal Justice/Protective
Services Curriculum to develop
proficiency in both incoming high
school students and in-service law
enforcement personnel. Both
theoretical and practical
instruction are offered to meet the
requirements of various law
enforcement agencies and to
provide the student with
knowlewdge, skills and attitudes to
be effective law enforcement
officers.
With an increasing demand for
properly educated/trained law
enforcement officers in federal,
state and local government, as well
as private industry, those who meet
the demand will find challenging
opportunities and advancement.
