Administration of Justice

Las Positas College offers courses that lead to an Associate in Arts degree in Administration of Justice, including a Basic Peace Officer Academy for students seeking full-time employment in law enforcement. A Reserve Peace Officer course and several advanced officer courses are also offered in the program. The degree program prepares students for transfer to a four-year college or university while the Basic Peace Officer Academy and Reserve Peace Officer programs prepare students for direct job entry with a California law enforcement agency. While units in this program are transferable to many institutions, students should consult a counselor for transfer information.
