Program Description
|
|
This program is designed to prepare students for the criminal justice and law enforcement field. Students will learn about constitutional law, criminal law, trial procedures, correctional institutions, the laws of arrest, and rules of evidence. Hands-on activities include simulated police scenarios, forensic examination, crime scene investigation, crisis intervention, emergency response, search and seizure, and interrogation techniques. The responsibilities of law enforcement personnel and the importance of professionalism will be emphasized in this program. Professionals from the field will share their experiences and specialty training. Writing and language skills are taught due to the mandatory writing test that many local police departments have for entry into their departments. To participate in this program, students must have a clean disciplinary record. A police background check is required to participate in job shadows, internships, and ride alongs at local police departments.
