Bachelor's in Police Science - Interesting

I came across what I think is a very interesting degree in Police Science. Posting the information for those who might be interested. For more information go to: http://police.onlinegwu.com

Recent years have seen fundamental changes in the securing of public safety. The types of incidents that police professionals are called upon to prevent, investigate, and control have changed profoundly. In addition to their law enforcement responsibilities, police now face the challenging new demands of homeland security and attendant "first response" duties. This complex new role merits a fresh perspective on the nature and scope of the applied knowledge our police forces require.

Police responsibilities and the way they are performed should always be reviewed in managerial, political, and societal contexts. Changes in these areas often lead to subsequent modifications in practical police work. The Bachelor of Professional Studies in Police Science exposes students to current and future policing challenges within these contexts of change.

Developed by GW's College of Professional Studies in consultation with metropolitan area law enforcement and police experts, the Police Science curriculum has been drawn from six schools at The George Washington University into a single comprehensive e-learning format.

The result is a relevant and rich program, including:

Fundamental standards that support focused law enforcement, best practices for sustaining success, leadership principles required to effectively manage government resources, strategies for partnering with other organizations to address the underlying causes of crime and proven techniques for building safe, healthy neighborhoods.
