>>STUDENT: I became a police officer because
I know we make a difference. We help make
this a better community and provide a high
quality of life.
I’m a proud graduate of Lane’s Criminal
Justice program. I found more than just a
job; I found a great career.
>>ANNC: Lane’s Criminal Justice graduates
work in a wide range of fields. In police
and sheriff’s departments, they serve as
dispatchers, records personnel, patrol officers,
detectives, motorcycle and K-9 officers and
administrators.
Other Criminal Justice graduates work in adult
and juvenile corrections, as well as probation
and parole. They serve as school resource
officers and specialize in animal control.
Our graduates also find jobs with city prosecutor’s
offices, as crime techs and in the security
field.
These are career paths that demand highly-qualified
personnel. You must have integrity, an even
temperament and be able to handle high-stress
situations. Our graduates have strong critical
thinking, communication and writing skills.
You need a clean criminal history, driving
and credit record and, for some jobs, must
meet physical fitness standards.
>>STUDENT: I graduated the Criminal Justice
program and was hired first as a reserve officer
and then fulltime. It’s a fantastic career.
I get to live what most people will only ever
watch on TV.
