Law Enforcement
Instructor: Vince Logan; Aide: Angi Imel
This course is designed for the student who is contemplating a career in law enforcement. The curriculum follows the certified Illinois State Police Basic Training used by all five Illinois Police Academies. All students may be required to submit to random drug testing and a background check in order to be involved with any “hands-on” activities. Students with a criminal history should not enroll. First year students will be studying criminal law, vehicle code, and case law in the first semester and learning how to investigate crimes, process a crime scene, and execute arrests in the second semester. Students will engage in dynamic scenario-based training, defensive tactics, officer safety skills, firearm safety and simulators using air-soft and paintball activities. At the conclusion of the first year, students will be able to correctly investigate a crime, make an arrest, complete booking and arrest report, and testify in court. Second year students will be leading class discussions, composing research projects, assuming a supervisory role with first year students, and actively training in Jiu Jitsu, Judo, and karate, as well as competing in weekly training scenarios using air-soft. Guest speakers include Secret Service, FBI, DEA, SWAT and field trips may include jails, police academies, military facilities, and police departments. (I515/I520)
