JOSEPH FAIRCHILD: THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM AT
TIDEWATER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
IS AN APPLIED PROGRAM.
SO, WE INSTRUCT THE STUDENTS
ON WHAT THEY'LL ACTUALLY
BE DOING IN THE
FIELD OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE.
WE OFFER A VARIETY OF
DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES
IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE
AND RELATED FIELDS.
WE INSTRUCT STUDENTS ON
FINGERPRINTING TECHNOLOGY,
IMPRESSIONS TECHNOLOGY AND
OTHER CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATIVE PROCESSES.
THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH
WITNESS IDENTIFICATION...
WE HAVE CRIME SCENES THAT WE
PREPARE AND THE TOOLS USED BY
STUDENTS ARE THOSE TOOLS USED IN
THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSION.
OUR FACULTY ARE CURRENT AND
FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT.
OUR CURRENT FACULTY
INCLUDE RETIRED F.B.I AGENTS,
POLICE OFFICERS, DETECTIVES,
LIEUTENANTS
WE ALSO HAVE POLICE CHIEFS
THAT WORK FOR US, AS WELL AS,
JUDGES AND LAWYERS AND OTHER
CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS.
LOOK FOR THE
MOISTURE IN THE PRINT.
I ENTERED LAW ENFORCEMENT
BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHAT I
WANTED TO DO.
I WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE
AND I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO
GIVE BACK TO MY COMMUNITY.
BEING A LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER IS SOMETHING THAT
YOU CAN DO TO HELP
YOURSELF AND YOUR COMMUNITY.
WHILE THE JOB CAN BE DIFFICULT,
THE REWARDS CAN BE GREAT.
