Education and Training Center
Today, Arkansas law enforcement professionals are
expected to perform a fuller gamut of services than
ever before. In addition to their primary roles of
protector and enforcer, they must also serve a
variety of secondary roles—teacher, counselor,
mentor, mediator, and advocate. Each role requires
its own base of skills and knowledge, which is often
best obtained through advanced training and
education.
Through the Criminal Justice Institute’s
Education and Training Center, Arkansas law
enforcement has access to programs and services
designed to hone these skills. The Center oversees
the development, coordination and delivery of
forensic science,
management,
computer enhancement and traffic safety courses
that the Institute provides free of charge to
Arkansas law enforcement personnel. In addition, the
Center actively develops and delivers
specialized
programs of study designed to address the
emerging needs of Arkansas law enforcement.
