Become a Better Law Enforcement Officer

When you choose IWU’s bachelor of science online degree in criminal justice program, you will increase your knowledge of basic law enforcement principles just like you would in any other program. With IWU, however, you also gain experience in areas not typical of a criminal justice degree program, but equally important to a well-rounded training program. You will learn how an increasingly diverse society affects the role of law enforcement officers and you will learn disaster preparedness.

More importantly, you take courses to develop your understanding of the new role law enforcement officers play in our post 9/11 society. The courses you take in homeland security help prepare you to enter a changing field in a changing society where the increasing diversity of the population poses unique challenges to law enforcement officers. Developing an understanding of these concepts with a Christian worldview and from a perspective of healing rather than simply punishing those troubled by crime helps you become a better officer.
