Law Enforcement
Associate in Applied Science Degree – LAWF.AAS.C44
The Law Enforcement curriculum is designed to meet the needs of two groups of students: those who plan to
work with public or private agencies concerned with maintaining public safety and those already employed by
law enforcement agencies who wish to update skills and knowledge. KCC also offers a Criminal Justice transfer
program, see Page 46. Students should see the criminal justice/law enforcement coordinator to determine which
program best suits their needs. Law Enforcement graduates are generally prepared to enter law enforcement
programs at selected colleges and universities with junior status.
