The Wisconsin Police Corps could be the answer to students looking for a career in law enforcement.
The corps is a United States Department of Justice program created to select and train college graduates to serve as community oriented police officers.
Participants will undergo law training while receiving a $250-per-week stipend. Also, $30,000 will reimburse students for college costs already paid, loans, or to complete their college education.
To fulfill a career in law enforcement, participants need to successfully complete four years of college, complete Police Corps training, and four years of service in community patrol and policing using the knowledge gained to promote health and safety.
The Wisconsin Police Corps is providing this program to address one of the nation's challenges: reclaiming communities and neighborhoods from crime and violence. State, city, and county law enforcement agencies across the country are seeking educated officers who are willing to serve as community representatives in areas of great need.
Application material will be available in the Career Development Office from February 26 to March 24, the deadline. Lisa Lindsay, career development director, said interested students from all majors are welcome to apply.
