Police officers are on the front lines of public safety in our communities. Nationwide jobs in law enforcement are expected to increase over 8% in the next ten years.

Not interested in being a police officer? With a criminal justice education you could also pursue a career as a probation officer, evidence technician, legal assistant, social worker, substance abuse counselor and more.

At KCC, students have the option of pursuing one-year certificates and pathway certificates as well as a full associate’s degree with an emphasis in criminal justice.
