[Reg Goings speaking] The goal of the program is to make sure that every student we have in the Criminal Justice program has a comprehensive
understanding of the issues that are involved within the Criminal Justice field.
The students learn a wide variety range of information in regards to the initial time an individual is arrested
all the way up until that individual is released from the criminal justice system.
Students will also have an opportunity to intern with various local law enforcement agencies.
[Brandy Norris speaking] My name is Brandy Norris and I'm the Assistant Chief of Police with College Station Police Department.
My favorite part is the engagement. Getting into class, starting a lecture or opening a conversation and just letting them go.
[Cornelius Gray speaking] When I did my internship, I did it at Brazos County Juvenile Services.
I'm currently overseeing the Blinn students that will be tutors at the Juvenile Detention Center.
This program has provided me confidence, communication skills, and a career that I am comfortable in and that I enjoy.
[Toni Wesolick] I love it, because all my teachers so far have been in either Bryan PD, in College Station PD, or they're retired officers.
Mr. Gray who's doing the volunteer work at the Juvenile Justice Center is a prior student.
So it's very encouraging to have all these people around that have done the program.
[Brandy Norris speaking] Blinn is quality.
It is quality education, it is quality instructors, and it is quality facilities.
And that to me, if I had to sum it all up into one word, Blinn is just opportunity.
