Interested in a degree in Law Enforcement Studies?

The Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) and Okanagan College are teaming up to offer two information sessions in Penticton on Feb. 24 that will outline student options for the baccalaureate program.

The degree program will be offered at Okanagan College’s Penticton campus. Students can take the College’s two-year Criminal and Social Justice program and then ladder into the third year of the JIBC’s Bachelor of Law Enforcement Studies degree program, offered in Penticton. The first intake into the third year of this degree program will be in September, 2016.

The first information session is at 1 p.m. on Feb. 24, while a second session will be held at 5:30 p.m.

“Given the development of the prison in Oliver, and the ongoing human resource needs of various agencies across the country, this degree program is a good choice for those whose goal is a career in law enforcement,” explains Shaun Machesny, JIBC’s Co-ordinator for the Bachelor of Law Enforcement Studies.
