Criminal Justice

The Criminal Justice program is designed to provide an overview of the entire criminal justice system.  Students will have the opportunity to explore law enforcement issues at the local, state, and federal levels.  They will also look at the United States and worldwide court systems, juvenile law, corrections, private security, and other related fields.  We will provide students with a background in a variety of criminal justice topics through academic study and hands-on training.

Previous students have pursued careers in the criminal justice field.  This includes Police Officers, Game Wardens, Border Patrol, and US Customs.  Many of our students choose to take advantage of the college credits available through the program so that they can get a head start on their education.  

This program covers mature content including sexual assault, homicide, and domestic violence.  For this reason, we limit this program to upperclassmen – Junior and Seniors. We hold our Criminal Justice students to a high moral standard and students entering the program will sign a zero-tolerance drug/alcohol and criminal activity policy. 

The Criminal Justice program will also contain a Physical Training component in which students will participate in PT at least once a week. Students will choose between a competitive PT option that will prepare them for the academy’s expectations, or a modified PT option that will involve less strenuous activities.
