If you’ve ever imagined a career where every day is different, every decision matters, and you make a real impact, the Criminal Justice program is your first step. Whether you're drawn to law enforcement, forensic science, corrections, or the judicial system, this program gives you the foundation to start your journey.

As a CRJ Cadet, you’ll take college-level courses like Criminology, Forensic Science, and Police Field Operations—earning up to 24 college credits through Central Maine Community College. But this isn’t just about classroom learning—you’ll get hands-on training from active law enforcement officers, criminal justice professionals, and academy instructors.

From processing crime scenes to understanding the complexities of the legal system, you’ll experience real-world scenarios, field trips, and guest speakers who bring the criminal justice world to life. Plus, you’ll sharpen a critical skill for this field—report writing—because in criminal justice, if it’s not documented, it didn’t happen.

If you’re ready to challenge yourself mentally and physically, step into a field where every action counts, and build a future that makes a difference, this is where you start. Are you ready to take the first step?
