PROGRAM OVERVIEW<br />
Developed in cooperation with the Massachusetts Chiefs of<br />
Police Association, the Law Enforcement Certi�cate Program<br />
has been approved by the Massachusetts Department of Higher<br />
Education for participation in the Police Career Incentive Program<br />
(PCIP-Quinn Bill). The certi�cate combines specialized criminal<br />
justice and general education coursework to provide students<br />
with the knowledge and skills they need to compete for entry<br />
into the Massachusetts law enforcement �eld. All of the credits<br />
earned in the certi�cate program can be applied to a Quinn Bill<br />
eligible Associate in Science degree in Criminal Justice.<br />
CAREER OUTLOOK<br />
The certi�cate program has been rati�ed by the Massachusetts<br />
Chiefs of Police Association’s Training and Education Committee<br />
as an important step in their goal to have a better-educated<br />
and more professional workforce. Although the certi�cate is<br />
not yet a requirement in the hiring and training procedures, it<br />
is anticipated that it will substitute for a signi�cant part of the<br />
Massachusetts Training Council curriculum in the future. Since<br />
the Law Enforcement Certi�cate Program will only be offered at<br />
PCIP approved colleges, all courses qualify students for the pay<br />
incentives once they earn the A.S. degree in Criminal Justice.<br />
