Do you take pride in making your community
a safer place?
Are you interested in public service
working in the legal system or even solving
crimes?
Then maybe you have what it takes to excel in WCC's
School of Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement.
This is a serious field where the decisions
you make could be the difference
between life or death.
The School of Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement
at Washtenaw Community College gives you
the education and training you need to get hired
as a police or corrections officer. 
In the police academy, you'll learn about 
evasive driving techniques, self-defense
maneuvers, crime scene investigations
and firearms safety. Our training facilities
are so good that local agencies use them for
their own continuing education.
If you want to work in the legal system
or as part of an international organization
such as the FBI, then check out 
WCC's transfer program
where you'll conduct mock trials
and study criminal investigation.
For this career path, you'll actually take
three years at WCC and
then transfer to Eastern Michigan University
for the last year.
This makes getting your bachelor's degree convenient
and much less expensive,
since tuition at WCC is less
than half the cost of other universities.
At WCC you get hands-on training
in today's issues and tomorrow's threats led
by real investigators, judges, and officers.
Maybe that's why our students have a near-perfect
pass rate on the exam that makes you eligible
to become a local police officer.
So, whether you want to get hired as a police
or corrections officer,
or assure the safety of your nation,
you can do your part to serve and protect.
WCC's School of Criminal Justice
and Law Enforcement
is the place to learn how.
