FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 2017 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS — 9 Local & Entertainment Law enforcement classes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In the fi nal week, Wood- ward will discuss parole and probation. Woodward explained that once they have arrested someone and, once they are convicted or agree to a sentence, they have to be under the supervision of parole and probation. They will discuss what that looks like, how long people are under supervi- sion depending on the crime, and talk about the functions of a parole and probation offi cer. “In discussing all these aspects, we’ll cover what it will take for a high school student to get into those specifi c branches of law enforcement,” explained Woodward. “Maybe what kind of course work would be helpful to them. Do they need to go to college, yes or no. A lot of agencies, a lot of police departments, don’t require a college education to be a police offi cer, but some do. So The what course work would be benefi cial to them, not only at the high school level, but then also moving forward into college.” They will also discuss practical things, such as pay scale, salary, what a typical shift would look like, day shifts, night shifts, swing shifts, and other such things. The courses will be March 3rd, March 10th, April 14th, and April 28th. These classes coincide with Blue Fridays at the school, days that are optional and students can choose to be involved in. “The end goal of this is to get kids, that are inter- ested in law enforcement, also to participate further with the police depart- ment as cadets,” explained Woodward. “And a police cadet program is, typically in most agencies you have full time offi cers and then you have reserve offi - cers—those are volunteer offi cers—and usually you have to be 21 or older to be a reserve offi cer, so you’re not full-time, you’re not paid full-time, you’re mostly a volunteer. But then a lot of agencies also have cadets. And so, police cadets, that program is for those that are basically high school age that are interested in learning more about law enforcement. And so it gives them a way to apply to the police department, to be hired on as a cadet—again, it’s a volunteer position—but kids get to volunteer hours at the police department, they get to go through an interview process, a back- ground process.” If they are accepted, stu- dents are able to volunteer with the police department a couple hours a month. The students could volunteer at parades and being on parade routes. They could also do crime prevention at local stores in uniform. They will have a different uniform than offi cers and will not be armed. Baker County Press Subscribe Today! Name: Address: City, State, Zip: Email address: Phone: E-Only $29.95/yr.
