If you’re passionate about helping others, protecting your community, and making a real impact, the Criminal Justice program could be your calling. This program introduces students to a wide range of careers in law enforcement, criminal investigations, forensics, homeland security, and emergency response. From the start, students are immersed in hands-on training—practicing self-defense, conducting patrol simulations, and learning how to investigate crime scenes. Students develop the qualities that define great public servants: teamwork, integrity, good judgment, and a strong sense of justice.

Over two years, students explore the structure of the legal system, study criminal behavior, and learn how local, state, and federal law enforcement work together. You’ll gain experience in subject control, surveillance, dispatch systems, and evidence analysis—using tools like fingerprinting, ballistics testing, and blood spatter interpretation. Homeland Security training prepares students to manage emergencies and protect communities, with topics like cybersecurity and disaster response.

Whatever your pathway, whether it's employment, enrollment, or enlistment, the Criminal Justice program will provide you the opportunities to reach your goals through valued industry certifications, exposure to our college partners, and taking advantage of our Work-Based Learning program.
