"The Huot has prepared me for these various activities in different ways: One of them being the introduction to the CERT team. I have successfully learned how to be a leader and how to carry myself well in job interviews to get the two jobs I currently hold now. I have been able to make connections with the people I met through the Huot with being the guest speakers or presenters. The Huot is the best thing that could have happened to me as someone who wants to go into the Law Enforcement Field."

During year 1, students will recognize the social and political influences that contribute to law enforcement as a critical partnership between citizens and the justice system. Particular attention will focus on goals, characteristics, and on the culture of policing within the law. Students will learn and have projects dealing with different policing philosophies such as Problem Orientated Policing, Zero Tolerance Police, and Community Policing. Constitutional Law and major United States and Supreme Court cases will be studied and put into real use with mock interrogations, investigations, and court cases involving students.
Students will recognize significant issues involved in policing, including discretion, discrimination, racial profiling, use of force, pursuits, liability, corruption, and ethics. A major emphasis will be placed on police investigations and reporting techniques. Students will also have the opportunity to learn and pursue certification in several areas such as CPR, first aid, Stop the Bleed, Incident Command System Certification, defensive tactics, and traffic control. Crime scene processing and DNA collection best practice will also be an integral part of the curriculum. Enduring Understandings:
