Criminal Justice Professional Training (Continuing Education)

Short Term

The Criminal Justice Professional Training Program offers classes to area law enforcement officers. These classes provide re-certification for current skills and opportunities to enhance an officer's skills in new areas. The program offers many specialized classes based upon requests and the needs of the law enforcement agencies we serve.

Sworn Law Enforcement Officers are exempt from tuition fees for occupational extension classes offered by the Criminal Justice Professional Training Program. Members of law enforcement agencies who do not have arrest authority will be required to pay tuition fees. Due to the nature of the information provided in these classes most are not open to persons not currently employed in the Criminal Justice field.

CJC-3928A General Instructor Training

This certification-related course is designed to provide the law enforcement officer with a fundamental background in the instruction of other law enforcement personnel. Successful completion of this course allows the student to apply to the Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Division for certification as a law enforcement instructor. This certification allows an instructor to teach many of the blocks of instruction offered in basic law enforcement training in addition to various in-service classes offered both in-house (police/sheriff's depts.) and the community college system. Each trainee is required to research, develop and deliver an 80-minute lesson plan as part of meeting course requirements. Trainees must successfully pass State- administered written exam as well as demonstrate competency in all skill areas in order to be eligible for certification as a criminal justice instructor. Trainees must meet State established prerequisites for admission to course. Contact the NC Department of Justice for course standards.
