Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
As noted above we will be entering into collaborative community initiatives with our local law enforcement partners specifically in the area of the use of force. The enhanced educational advantages to our students will make them better candidates for employment by law enforcement agencies and by offering the technology to our local partners we will be enhancing their training initiatives that will greatly benefit our community.
The development of these labs will ensure that our students are keeping pace with the new technologies that are being introduced into the criminal justice field at an alarming pace. It will ensure the highest quality of lab programming into our academic courses.
Develop our students skills in the area of technology by introducing them to the Crime Zone and Crash Zone technology soft ware. These programs are widely utilized by local law enforcement and the abilities of our students to become proficient in the utilization of this technology could be a valuable asset to local law enforcement. Adding a lab in the area of the use of force would be a great asset for our students in developing their understanding of how these situations evolve under stressful circumstances.
We are offerring the Use of Force Technology to our local law enforcement partners (Sheriff's Department) in the training of their personnel. Already local law enforcement participated in a train the trainer session with Criminal Justice Instructors, a process that was mutually beneficial to both parties. We hope to develop more collaborative programming and will need a coordinator and space to realize these ambitious college and community initiatives
