The Criminal Justice program is an introduction to law enforcement. Students will study subjects such as use of force and search and seizure as they apply to our Constitution. Forensic science and crime scene processing are a few of the more than 40 subject areas of law enforcement that will be explored. The culminating experience for Criminal Justice students is to receive an introduction to police weaponry. Students receive training from State of Maine-certified fire-arms instructors in the identification, uses, and deployment of police weapons and use of force such as take down techniques and self defense.
