Law Enforcement is the type
of career that needs young people
willing to learn,
willing to learn about society,  learn
about citizens, learn about the legal system
the program itself will allow our students
the option to become
law enforcement professionals in the
enforcement side,
of the jail correctional side. It also
gives them
an opening to work in other areas,
possibly court counseling, possibly the
probation department. I think one of the
strongest points we have in our program
is really a very good faculty. Many of the faculty
teach in the criminal justice program
are adjuncts working
professionals and that experience that
we can impart to our students I think
is just valuable. The instructors really
work with you well,
if you're having trouble keeping up, or
you've got questions but the class but
it's definitely a great place to to get
back in. You're never too old.
You feel so comfortable in raising your
hand,
and asking questions, and if you need any
help with anything
you can always go to him and ask him. 
There's no more exciting place for me
than in the classroom to be working with
these young people
trying to help them get where they're
going. And one other things that's great
about our programs is we have
great students in our program. We'll take
students to local police departments
and they will actually go through
maneuvers of finger printing of
photographing, handcuffing, and things
along those lines.
Even people that aren't specifically in
this program, I think that
anyone should try to take courses in
criminal justice it gives you a
really great aspect on everything that
goes on in the world and
It really makes give you a better
better respect for police departments
and police officers and what they do.
Somewhere down the line if I wanna go
for a four-year degree
I can take my associates and move on
with that.
We are finding that our students
do well once they get to the four-year
schools
and most four-year institutions in Illinois
are willing to take our criminal justice
students and assimilate them into their
four-year criminal justice programs.
It's just a well situated program for the
academic end of it
and the practical application when they
go to work.
