Criminal Justice Program
Clayton,
Ohio – The Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Criminal
Justice
program teaches report writing, patrol techniques, Ohio Revised Code,
evidence
collection, traffic stops, building searches, private security, and
forensic
science. This program also allows students to earn several
certifications as a
high school student, including Dispatch, Armanment Systems and
Procedures
(ASP); Oleoresin Capsicum Spray (OC); and First Aid/CPR. The program is
a
semi-military program that requires students to wear uniforms, and
includes a
physical workout as part of the daily schedule. The program is devoted
to teaching
patience, respect, and furthering student's education.
After
completing the MVCTC Criminal Justice program, students go on to work
at
security companies or local sheriff/police departments as dispatchers
or
corrections officers. Other students choose to continue their education
at
post-secondary institutions or join the military.
Over
the past few years, the Criminal Justice program has shown very strong
data to
support the level of academic challenge provided to their students. On average, 46 students
are enrolled in the
program each school year.
Based
on the 2011 follow-up date (the most recent reported by the state), 90%
of
MVCTC Criminal Justice students were employed, in the military, or
enrolled in
college or advanced training after leaving MVCTC. This program also
reported
100% technical skill attainment, completion of the program, and
academic
attainment in math, reading, and science.
Kelcie
Lanham, Class of 2014 Criminal Justice student from Ansonia shared,
“MVCTC made
me aware of all of the career opportunities that I have. After earning college
credits at MVCTC, I
realize all of the college opportunities I know have as well. After I graduate from
MVCTC, I can use my
Tech Prep Scholarship to Sinclair Community college and work towards
becoming a
corrections officer or attend the Police Academy.”
