CRM 302 - Critical Incidents in Policing

3 credits

Prerequisite(s): POL 123 - Introduction to Law and the Legal System and CRM 220 - Survey of the Criminal Justice System
This course will examine the critical incidents and crucial issues that impact the "law enforcement" institution and social justice in America. Our society is ever dynamic and changing, sometimes at odds with authority, and defining/re-defining the role that law enforcement must adapt to. Systems at the federal, state, and local levels work independently and yet cooperatively to meet the need for order maintenance, public safety, and public sector services. The learner will examine the dynamics of police operations and issues involving critical incidents to include deadly force, high-speed pursuits, civil unrest, homeland security, domestic terrorism, anti-government movement, national/ natural emergencies, violence, and the use of force.
