ter Planning:.  More and more, advancementin law enforcement and the justice system requires at a minimum a two-year degree in Administration of Justice from a community college, as well as certificates in specific areas, such as Civil and Criminal Law, Homeland Security, Crime Scene Investigator and Basic Police Officer.  The goal of this Certificate of Achievement in Basic Police Officer allows a student to complete a Basic Police Academy and field training program in law enforcement and become a permanent Police Officer in the San Francisco Police Dept.

 

Education is an important hiring and promotional component. This is whey community colleges, such as City College of San Francisco, constantly look at revamping their curriculums to reflect current public safetyneeds. In addition, when community colleges and local law enforcement agencies have Memorandums of Understanding with an Instructional Services Agreement, it provides a positive financial program for the law enforcement agency and the local community college, such as the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) and City College of San Francisco (CCSF) in this instance. As the needs of public safety, specifically law enforcement and civil and criminal law areas, required more education and professionalism, community colleges have developed and improved that important component.

 

The goal of the City College Certificate of Achievement in Basic Police Officer is to provide those seeking a career in law enforcement the opportunity to receive college credit for educational work that meets California Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) and San Francisco Police Dept. standards.

 

City College will continue to be a comprehensive community college that will provide opportunities for student transfer, careera nd technical education, basic skills, and English as a Second Language instruction as well as opportunities for lifelong learning and personal enrichment. City College will continuously align its Career Technical Education (CTE) programs with market realities in order to meet students’ educational needs.

 

Although CCSF can and does develop new courses or programs in response to demonstrated industry need, the DWM framework requires Colleges to interact, pursue and manage grants, and plan workforce and CTE offerings in a new way.  Colleges are expected to follow a sector strategy model, work regionally to align programs with industry needs, leverage existing programs throughout the region, pursue funding through collaborative efforts, and report data on student outcomes on the Launchboard, a statewide system.  New programs, Associate degrees, and Certificates of Achievement must be endorsed by voting members of BACCC which includes CTE and Workforce Deans from the 28 regional colleges.

 

The CCSF Master Educational plan report compares degree and certificate offerings in the Bay Area, explores the breadth of existing programs in the Bay Area, and identifies those programs that are unique to City College and those programs that overlap with other, similar institutions.  This analysis uses 23 institutions labeled as “two-year or less” operating in a 25-mile radius ofCity College of San Francisco.  Future approaches will more fully incorporate the Bay Area Community College Consortium (BACCC), our “competitors” and colleagues in collaborative efforts from 28 regional colleges.  These include Berkeley, Cabrillo, Canada, Chabot, College of Alameda, College of San Mateo, Contra Costa, De Anza, Diablo Valley, Evergreen, Foothill, Gavilan, Hartnell, Laney, Las Positas, Los Medanos, College of Marin, Merritt, Mission, Monterrey Peninsula, Napa Valley, Ohlone, CCSF, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Skyline, Solano, West Valley.  

 

There are 117,402 credit students enrolled in public and private post secondary institutions offering two-year degrees or lessin a 25-mile radius of City College. Credit enrollment at the City College numbered 30,106, representing 26% of student population for two-year degree or less institutions within the 25-mile radius.  Two-year public colleges account for 95% of the total enrollment among all 2-year degree and less institutions in this radius.  The second largest set of “competitors” was private 2-year for-profit institutions at a combined percentage of 4%.

 

For a school of its size, it is not surprising that City College offers a large number of courses, as well as a large number of degree and certificate programs compared to other, neighboringinstitutions.  There are 53 programs offered at CCSF that are not offered elsewhere by two-year institutions in the BayArea.

 

The CCSF Strong Workforce Program (SWP) 2017-2020 Strategic Plan (referred to as“Plan” heretofore), embodies this core commitment. The Plan provides a guide for how CCSF can support student achievement and career readiness through the strategic application of funds from the state Strong Workforce Program (SWP), a new source of workforce development funding available to public two-year colleges statewide through the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office(CCCCO).

 

Enrollment development is designed to strengthen CTE outreach and enrollment. Program Enhancement is designed to focus on: strengthen existing CTE programs and occupational clusters at CCSF; address gaps in funding; encourage the development of innovative curriculum; support student success strategies, such as learning communities, decrease system barriers to completion, such as sequencing and program advising; increase job placement support; deepen industry engagement; and fund updated equipment supplies and facilities.

 

Place of Program in Curriculum/Similar Programs

This proposed certificate complements other certificates in our Department: Administration of Justice, Forensics, Homeland Security, Fire Science, Fire Academy and Company Officer, and improves career opportunities for our students. In addition, STEM programs at City College also prepare our students for the technical analytical aspects of law enforcement and the legal job positions, such as computer intelligence and data analysis and development systems.

 

Similar Programs at Other Colleges in Service Area

While other community colleges in the Bay Area region have Administrative of Justice programs and specialty certifications, none of our immediate neighbors and CCSF impact one another in this type of a Certificate.  This has been discussed with our partners at College of San Mateo and Chabot College, and the South Bay Reginal Consortium.
