Program Description
The Spanish for law enforcement sub-baccalaureate certificate is designed to meet the needs of law enforcement officers, correctional officers and public and private security personnel, and for those students seeking employment in a related field. Students learn basic practical language skills that will assist them as criminal justice practitioners in a number of situations, such as law enforcement commands and dealing with suspects, victims and witnesses; prison populations; and border and immigration issues. Students will also learn about Hispanic culture and customs so they can better understand the needs of members of their communities.
