LIU Offers New Program in Law Enforcement

As a direct result of the public safety concerns raised by September 11, the School of Continuing Studies at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus is offering a certificate program in Criminal and Civil Investigation. The Civil and Criminal Investigation Certificate Program explores many different topics of law enforcement including court systems, civil rights local, state and federal law enforcement jurisdictions, evidence gathering, litigation support and basic tort investigations. Taught by former law enforcement officers, courses offered this fall are “Introduction to Law Enforcement and Investigations” and “Introduction to Fraud Investigations.” The spring semester will include “Advanced Fraud Investigations,” “Undercover Operations and Electronic surveillance,” “Violence in the Workplace and Crisis Management” and “Civil Investigations.” Applicants to the program will have to undergo a criminal background check and fingerprinting before acceptance. The certificate program is expected to appeal to retired police officers and people who want a career change. For more information, call (718) 488-1010. #
