Administration of Justice

Meet the Faculty

Many of our instructional staff are still active in the law enforcement community. This is especially true of our POST training program. This includes all ranks in law enforcement, from officers to retired chiefs, from attorneys to judges. This is how we are able to bring the most up-to-date information and techniques to the Administration of Justice student.
