Careers
Typical positions available after graduation include:
Police Officer
Police Officers have regular patrols and also respond to emergency and non-emergency calls. During patrols, officers look for signs of criminal activity and may conduct searches and arrest suspected criminals. Some police officers work only on a specific type of crime, such as narcotics. Officers, especially those working in large departments, may work in special units, such as horseback, motorcycle, canine corps, and special weapons and tactics (SWAT). Typically, officers must work as patrol officers for a certain number of years before they may be appointed to a special unit.
Additional opportunities include:
-
Deputy Sheriff

Other Certified Law Enforcement Positions
