RCC Alumni
There are many graduates of our Criminal Justice program serving now — a great example being Gloucester Co. Sheriff Darrell Warren, a 2007 graduate.
Trained to Protect and Serve
In our small classroom environment, you’ll learn from faculty who have served in the courts and in police departments. They’ll give you real life perspectives, and you’ll graduate prepared to apply for any number of jobs, or to transfer to a four-year school. Among the topics covered in the program:
- Crisis resolution
- Arrest procedures
- Crime scene operations
- and much more!
Length of Program
Our Criminal Justice program lasts two years (four semesters) and graduates can transfer to a four year school, or step into the working world with an associate degree. Job possibilities include correction officer, detention officer, probation officer and more.
