EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

College of the Siskiyous and its staff offer equal opportunities without regard to race, religion, disability, age, national origin, marital status, or gender in employment, services, and programs. Special accommodations are available for any phase of the application or enrollment process for individuals with disabilities.

The Administration of Justice curriculum prepares the student for a career in a variety of criminal justice agencies on the local, state, and national levels.  The program is designed to instruct students on the principles of the various justice systems and subsystems.  Emphasis on academic and practical exposure to such concepts as evidence collection, criminal investigations, community relations, firearms training, traffic enforcement and patrol procedures are stressed. The curriculum also prepares the student to transfer to a four-year university and academically compete in a B.S. or B.A. degree program. In addition, computer literacy and technological advances in the fields of crime prevention and detection are integral parts of the program.

Associate Degree Major: Administration of Justice

This program is designed for students who wish to enter the law enforcement field and for those who are either full or part-time members of law enforcement agencies wishing to upgrade their skills and knowledge. Although each agency's hiring requirements vary, this Associates Degree will enhance the student's marketability in the hiring process. This program is also designed for students in fields closely related to the administration of justice and for students who wish to transfer to a four-year institution for completion of a B.A. or B.S. degree in criminal justice or a related discipline.

Reserve Officer Training

The Reserve Officer Training Program at College of the Siskiyous fulfills all the requirements for an individual to be certified as a Level III and Level II reserve police officer for the State of California. A student who successfully completes both Level III and Level II reserve programs will have completed 1/2 of the basic academy instruction (445 hours). A student could then attend a participating academy and take the balance of the hours to fulfill the total 664 hourly requirements of the Basic Academy (Level I). Both reserve programs require a significant hourly commitment on the part of the student.
