UCA law enforcement officers have opportunity for new courses
18.05.12
Officials with the University of Central Arkansas have announced they will be working with the Criminal Justice Institute to provide law enforcement officers with the opportunity to combine specialized and supervisory courses beginning in the spring of 2012.
The two specialized tracks that are open only to law enforcement officers are law enforcement administration and crime scene investigation. Officers taking these classes will be able to obtain certificates of proficiency, technical certificates and associate of applied science degrees with general education classes.
In providing this opportunity, UCA will join about 20 other two- and four-year colleges already participating in the program.
Larry James, UCA police chief, said he is pleased that UCA will be offering this opportunity to law enforcement officers in the community.
“I’m particularly grateful to Dean (Pat) Cantrell, who stepped up and offered to house this program within the College of Business,” he said. “I have always encouraged law enforcement officers who are looking to position themselves for career advancement to earn degrees in business or public administration.”
