	Criminal Justice Degrees Criminal Justice Degrees Police and detectives pursue and apprehend individuals who break the law and then issue citations or give warnings. Most police officers patrol their jurisdictions and investigate any suspicious activity they notice. They also respond to calls from individuals. Detectives, who often are called agents or special agents, perform investigative duties such as gathering facts and collecting evidence. The daily activities of police and detectives vary with their occupational specialty—such as police officer, game warden, or detective—and whether they are working for a local, State, or Federal agency. Duties also differ substantially among various Federal agencies, which enforce different aspects of the law. Regardless of job duties or location, police officers and detectives at all levels must write reports and maintain meticulous records that will be needed if they testify in court. Parole officers perform many of the same duties that probation officers perform. The difference is that parole officers supervise offenders who have been released from prison, whereas probation officers work with those who are sentenced to probation instead of prison. Pretrial services officers conduct pretrial investigations, the findings of which help determine whether suspects should be released before their trial. In most jurisdictions, probation is a county function and parole is a State function. •Job opportunities are expected to be excellent. •Employment growth, which is projected to be faster-than-average, is dependent on government funding. •For parole or probation officers, a bachelor's degree in social work, criminal justice, psychology, or a related field is usually required.

It's always nice to see new DL programs, but with the civilian Department of the Army Police taking over law enforcement duties at more and more Army bases, Military Police aren't doing much policing these days.

They were almost glorified Infantry when I was an MP, and most definitely are now. The days of white hat law enforcement are in the past.

We did law enforcement about 50% of the time in the 1980s, but we never wore white hats. There were some MPs who only did law enforcement about 25% of the time (or even less). I always envied white hat duty and the sharp looking uniform, but never got to experience it because we always wore camo BDUs with a silly looking black helmet liner that was super shiny with "MP" on the front. I was very glad to join the MPs, but I was also very glad to get out! LOL

I was an MP in the National Guard, and while we did do law enforcement on occasion (weekend drills at Camp Edwards and summer camps at Fort Drum), the only times we wore white hats was when we would supplement the MP detachment at West Point whenever Boston College played Army in football; we had to wear Class A uniforms, complete with bloused boots and white hats. The other times were when we would supplement the USAF Security Police detachment at Hanscom Air Force Base for Thunderbird demonstrations, although those were always in the summer, so we wore the short-sleeve green dress shirt with no jacket (although we had the bloused jump boots and white hat).

I still have my white hat in my basement....my Guard unit wrote all equipment off as combat losses after the Gulf War, so they never asked for anything back.

Likewise the USMC with its Marine Corps Civilian Police (garrison environment), e.g., “Limitations on growing the active duty force have resulted in the hiring of civilians to provide Security and Law Enforcement services across the Department of Defense.”
