Preparing for Justice & Safety

Bicycle cops talking to students

If you think you might be interested in learning more about justice and safety, you should plan to visit our campus and sit in on a class or meet with some faculty members.

You can set up a visit to the College by contacting Jacinda Bertie at 859.622.6520 or jacinda.bertie@eku.edu.

Another way to prepare for the fields of justice and safety is to contact your local police or fire departments and inquire about explorer programs. Explorer programs are co-educational, young-adult programs developed and supervised by local community organizations, businesses and individuals providing an opportunity for young adults to explore a particular career field.

Explorers can broaden their understanding and firsthand knowledge of the challenges and job skills that make up their community's police and fire services. In addition to gaining a working knowledge of police work and fire service, the participants have the opportunity to give of themselves to their community.
