One of the best examples of a course offered at Valley that may be both a terminal and transfer pro- gram is the police science classes, taught by live professional instruc- tors. Modern law enforcement tech- niques have made it necessary for police officers to take educational classes above their regular police training if they intend to go into positions requiring administrative ability. With classes covering the full range of police activities, the em- phasis is upon preparing the junior college terminal student for posi- tions on local police forces and also providing a transfer program for those students who are attemping to obtain a bachelor of arts degree. One example of a police officer who fills all of these bills is Sergeant Paul Holmes, an evening school stu- dent who divides his remaining time between normal police work and a stint as instructor at the Police Academy. Holmes first went through the Police Academy some nine years ago but is today taking classes at Valley so that he can transfer to a local university and obtain a degree. The 33-year-old Air Force veteran credits his classes at Valley for get- ting him his recent promotion to sergeant. Holmes placed 18th out of the 1100 applicants. The faculty of the police science department is composed of five full- time policemen who teach clasess in their specialties at night. N i' Qi .logging around the Academy track, Holmes leads his class during its daily exercise period. '77.'T27'7'?T-1377 'inf :fn .fe F51 ff, .n -' I Fa: ff312jef4 :,Yf:,.'
