David Moody, Instructor: The Criminal Justice Technology Program is a two year program here
at Wilson Community College. With the program, if you are the type of person that has the
mindset that you want to know about the law
and what goes on in the law, this is the program
you need to be in. In Criminal Justice Technology,
we go through the necessary steps on how to
solve crime. Who did it, where did it happen,
and why did it happen? A student gets the
best of both worlds; you can be the face-to-face
student or the online student. With the face-to-face
students we do a lot of hands on stuff, for
instance we do tire impressions and we do
a big crime scene where we use software that
shows you how to [work] the crime scene. If
you are online, we use Screencast-o-Matic
that shows students how to do things. When
you do things online you take pictures to
show that you have accomplished those goals.
The students have several options when they
get their Criminal Justice Technology Degree.
We have some students that have gone on to
Barton College, some at ECU, some at NC Wesleyan,
some go to work in the correctional department,
and some become police officers; however everyone
that gets a Criminal Justice Degree doesn’t
have to be a law enforcement officer. We have
students working at places like the Wesley
Shelter which deals with victims of domestic
violence. We have students working at Criminal
Justice Standards who look at all the paperwork
the officers do to make sure they stay certified.
So we have an array of different things that
you can do with your Criminal Justice Degree.
