Associates Degree in Law Enforcement

An associate's degree in law enforcement prepares students for careers in entry-level law enforcement. Daily duties for an entry-level law enforcement officer might include patrol, vehicle stops, responding to calls, assisting in medical emergencies as a first-responder, basic criminal investigation, writing reports and completing various forms, giving court testimony and working with other agencies.

A career in law enforcement can allow for more leadership roles, such as field training new officers, participating in gang related investigations and vice activities.
