Law enforcement is complex, sometimes dangerous, often challenging and always open to public scrutiny and comment. Today, an increasing number of employees in public and private organizations are called upon to perform specialized investigation, enforcement and regulatory compliance functions that complement those performed by police and other peace officers. These public and private officials address issues that are increasingly more sophisticated, organized and technically challenging than in the past. The specialized mandates and issues faced by these officials requires a knowledge base and set of competencies that are somewhat different from, but generally complementary to, those required by police officers.
The goal of the Law Enforcement Studies Diploma Program is to provide you with the theoretical background, applied skills and specialized knowledge required to become a superior candidate in a recruiting process and to increase your chances of success at the entry-level employment stage in a range of investigation and law enforcement occupations. Our graduates who pursue a law enforcement career are making a difference in a wide range of organizations, agencies and departments.
