    The C4 Criminal Justice courses include specialized classroom and practical experiences related to public safety occupations such as law enforcement, loss protection services, and homeland security. The curriculum is based on standards and content similar to that provided by officially designated law enforcement agencies. Instruction includes procedures for patrolling on foot or in an automobile during the day or at night; dealing with misdemeanors, felonies, traffic violations, and accidents; investigative and evidence collection procedures; making arrests; and testifying in court. Students will have opportunities to use mathematical skills in crash reconstruction and analysis activities requiring measurements and performance of speed/acceleration calculations.  Additional activities simulating criminal investigations will be used to teach scientific knowledge related to anatomy, biology, and chemistry. Oral and written communication skills should be reinforced through activities that model public relations and crime prevention efforts as well as the preparation of police reports.

    Pathway Documents

    Career Pathway documents are designed to show students some possible career opportunities that are open to them depending on their interests, strengths and competencies. Meeting the career-related needs of students calls for alignment with career opportunities in authentic work settings. Career Pathways provide a useful framework to aid both students and educators in making those meaningful connections to the working world. C4 is creating and publishing Career Pathway Documents within its designated Career Majors.

     

    The first type of pathway listed in the C4 website is designed for the student who may think that they know what broad career field they are interested in pursuing but they are still exploring the career options available. Working from this model will prepare students to enter a number of post secondary options which are available in the state of Indiana.

    The second career pathway publication is designed for the student who has decided on a career choice. This pathway is one that is written between C4 and one post secondary institution where a dual credit or articulation agreement is in place. With this document, the student will see a secondary listing of proposed courses to prepare him or her for post secondary studies and also will find a four semester listing of the courses needed while enrolled in the post secondary institution.

     

     

    To help students plan their career and college goals, pathway documents are being developed:

    ·         Police Officer

    ·         Police Officer – Ivy Tech Community College

    ·         Police Officer – Vincennes University

    ·         Corrections Officer

    ·         Youth Services – Ivy Tech Community College
