WCC School of Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement – Washtenaw Community College
www4.wccnet.edu These programs help students develop the skills and knowledge necessary for work in law enforcement and criminal justice. Completion of the Police Academy Certificate prepares the student to take the MCOLES necessary for a career as a police officer. Students preparing for employment in occupations that do not require completion of the MCOLES/Police Academy or that do require a four-year degree (such as most Federal employment) can begin their studies by obtaining a Criminal Justice Associates of Arts degree, which is transferrable to most baccalaureate programs.

Thanks for your interest in the School of Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement at WCC. Your best bet is to give our counseling office a call at (734) 677-5102 for more information about transferring and other program specific requirements.
i wonder since i have my degree in private investigations can my credits transfer over
@2123812 yeah dude, i wanna know the same, if u find out lemme know
Yes… but it is normally frowned upon if they are above the neck or where a t-shirt wouldn’t cover them.
@2123812 Duh, aslong as you dont have any criminal charges at all
Not really. It depends, like if you want to be an agent you can’t have any body marks that others can point you out within a crowd. I asked this question to one of my cousins who is in the military.
All departments have there own tattoo policy, Ive seen officer’s with sleeves. However alot of agencys do not want visible tattoo’s when in uniform.
However if your tattoo’s are vulgar, offensive in any way and visible in uniform forget it..
can you still qualify for a law enforcement job if you have tattoos??
Ok can you please e mail me the qualifications for academy instructor? Thanks
We are not currently hiring instructors, but please feel free to check our site periodically for postings.
Is wcc hiring police academy instructors?
Hi xHannavas. Citizenship is required in Michigan (the state where WCC is located). You would need to check with each individual state to learn their specific qualification requirements.
