This certificate is designed to empower leaders within the criminal justice and law enforcement profession to think critically, to approach situations analytically and to make ethical decisions, according to Dr. Kathy Wells, CWC’s Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Secondly, the Commission approved a Law Enforcement Leadership Option under the college’s Organizational Management and Leadership Bachelor of Applied Science Degree. As Explained by Dr. Wells, the target audience for this degree are students currently employed in law enforcement who wish to acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities to advance into a leadership and management position within an organization that includes responsibilities in supervision of others, budgeting, crimes management/preparation and/or interfacing with various public entities.
