Police Science Technology
Program Description
This program provides students with classroom, laboratory, and hands-on training as preparation for entry into law enforcement.
Traditional classroom academic education is combined with laboratory courses and the practical application of learned skills to prepare students for job entry. Although traditional law enforcement careers are the goal of most entering students, other available options include positions with private security, corrections, juvenile work, and private investigation. Students may elect to continue their education in colleges accepting transfer credits.
