Career Opportunities
Employment opportunities are expected to be fair through the next decade as population and economic growth create a need for more officers
to protect life and property, regulate traffic and provide other services. Police officers usually retire at a somewhat younger age than
workers in other occupations, so replacement rates are relatively high.
Potential positions include:
- County Police
- Industrial Security Officer
- Municipal Police
- Private Security Guard
- State Police and federal Agencies
"The SCC law enforcement program is an excellent stepping stone for a career in policing. It offers absolute submersion into the
theoretical and practical aspects of law enforcement. I gained confidence needed to approach the application process and knowledge of the
law and officer safety, before engaging into police training. Though I am a police officer in Canada, the program has provided me with a
standard applicable in any law enforcement community."- Rob Christenson
