Para-Professional Courses: Training Crime in the streets, riots on the nation's campuses, trouble in the ghettos: the question of law and order in America is one of primary concerns to private citizens, law officers, and politicians alike. More effective laws and better trained and equipped law officers are two of the answers to some of these questions. To help train law enforcement officers to more effectively do their job, Kirkwood has developed a Law Enforcement Program. Taught with the cooperation of many local area police forces, the program is suited for career policemen who wish to increase their skills or knowledge as well as for young men and women interested in beginning a career in law enforcement. The program may be up to two years in length and spends as much time on psychology and sociology as on criminal law, finger printing and searching techniques. Its aim is to train law officers who understand and are aware of the problems of the people they meet. Library work consists of much more than checking books in and out, collecting fines, and filing magazines. The modern librarian is a specialist-in the reference de- partment, the periodical section, or in the newest area of the library-the audio-visual materials. Kirkwood offers a two year program in library services. The programs include specialized courses in library literature, library procedures, and audio-visual tech- niques along with a wide variety of liberal arts courses. A Law Enforcement student, on-the-job, prepares a traffic summons as a part of the many capacities filled by a police officer. 120 l
