Criminal Justice Pathway - Law Enforcement Prep and Crime Scene Management

In the Spring Semester, Passaic Valley will be providing the following pathways for students to earn career certifications through coursework completed at the high school level. Non-credit bearing, these courses are designed to enhance a student’s resume and offer an opportunity for students to gain entry directly into the workforce. Participating students will need to have met their graduation requirements and be able to dedicate two periods in the second half of the year to these certification courses. These courses have been approved by the Board of Education and as a result a small scholarship may be available to help defray the cost of tuition. Additionally, payment plans will be available directly through William Paterson University.

Criminal Justice Pathway- Law Enforcement Prep & Crime Scene Management

Students will complete a rigorous course, designed to prepare them for the demanding physical, mental and instructional experience commonly associated with basic training at the respective academies. This is accomplished under the strict supervision of highly experienced university instructors. This program will provide each student with all the tools needed to successfully complete the demanding requirements mandated by the NJ Police Training Commission (PTC).

Students enrolled in this program will also cover Crime Scene Management and receive Crime Scene Certification. This portion of the course is designed for students who wish to develop knowledge and skills in the field of forensics and become law-enforcement professionals at the Local, State or Federal levels.
