Field Placement

Protection Security and Investigation students will attend field placement opportunities on and off campus in order to broaden their knowledge and understanding of what skills, attributes, and/or competencies are required to work with various law enforcement agencies. Prior to attending the first field observation or volunteer shift, students will be provided with several in-class and/or online clinics/modules stressing appropriate adherence to policies, procedures and behavioral expectations for their field placement. Further to this, the importance of time management, professionalism, and other skill sets required for the various career options will be emphasized and practiced. Students participate in event security during college/university athletic events and shift(s) with a by-law enforcement agency. Completing the required hours as a means to gain valuable experience and to apply the theoretical knowledge gained in their academic studies.
