Courses added to WMCC criminal justice program

BERLIN — White Mountains Community College, with a campus in Berlin and academic centers in Littleton and North Conway, has added a new entry-level certificate and new courses to the criminal justice program for the fall semester which begins Aug. 30. These changes will align the criminal justice curriculum with the current and projected needs of the industry by providing students with in-demand skills for careers in law enforcement positions at various local, state and federal levels.

“One of our goals is to continually align the criminal justice curriculum with the needs of the profession,” said Jennifer Lemoine, White Mountains Community College criminal justice program coordinator and a 17-year veteran police officer. “Through our continued work with our advisory board, that includes local law enforcement professionals in our community, we found important topics facing the industry today like mental health and crisis intervention that needed to be added to the curriculum to prepare students for a career.”
