Description
The Public Safety AAS degree is designed to establish a pathway from the academic discipline of criminal justice to the practice of policing in New York State. The program combines instruction in fundamental criminal justice principles and educates students in how those principles are implemented in a policing context. Half of the program consists of the 30-credit Law Enforcement Training Academy. While students are not restricted from entering the program based on age, it should be noted that there are age restrictions for appointment as a Police Officer.
