Administration of Justice


The Administration of Justice Program provides a course of study to prepare students for employment in private security and public law enforcement agencies, including: state parks, municipal police, game wardens, probation officers, county deputy sheriffs, county and state correctional officers and the federal government. The associate degree program will prepare students for transfer to UC and CSU bachelors programs (if the IGETC or CSU GE pattern is chosen.) The certificate program is an option for students whose employment objectives are with agencies who require less than an A.A. degree.


Those completing the AS-T in Administration of Justice degree will be able to transfer to the California State University system and be prepared to study in the following areas: Administration of Justice, Law Enforcement, Correctional Administration, Social Science, and Pre-Law. Students will be prepared to work in a variety of fields, including: public law enforcement agencies such as municipal police, probation officers, county deputy sheriffs, correctional offices, game wardens, state parks, and private security.

PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING

South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium

As a member of the South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium, Gavilan College offers courses for students who are interested in Correctional Officer, Law Enforcement, Reserve Police Officer, Dispatcher, Fire Technology, Probation Officer, or Juvenile Hall Counselor careers. The Consortium is funded by all colleges regionally to provide vocational specific training which may require special facilities, special training conditions or is presented outside of the regular schedule of college classes.

Students completing these options may obtain a certificate of completion or an AA degree.  Please see a counselor for details.

The application and registration process is completed at the South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium Center located near the Coyote Valley College campus. Although open to the public, the majority of these courses are intended to serve the “already employed”. If you have questions about these courses, or if you would like information about a career in any of these programs, please call (408) 229-4299 or visit the webpage at www.theacademy.ca.gov.
