Combat Terror with a Criminal Justice Career
Overview
The demand for criminal justice and homeland security professionals has surged, creating a wealth of career opportunities. In response, colleges now offer specialized degrees in these fields both online and on campus.
Increased Demand for Professionals
Since the events of September 11, 2001, there has been a significant rise in the need for experts in criminal justice and homeland security. The establishment of the Department of Homeland Security in early 2003 underscored this necessity, focusing on border and transportation security, emergency preparedness, and infrastructure security.
Diverse Job Opportunities
Careers in criminal justice are expanding, with opportunities growing rapidly. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), for instance, is a fast-growing sector. While a degree isn’t mandatory for entry-level positions, having an associate degree or higher is crucial for advancement. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, entry-level salaries start just below $40,000.
The Bureau of Diplomatic Security offers federal law enforcement roles, requiring a college degree. Starting salaries range from $32,000 to $46,000, influenced by education, assignment, and experience. State and federal law enforcement officials typically need a bachelor’s degree, with average salaries exceeding $51,000. Local law enforcement often promotes only those with degrees.
Specialized Career Paths
The advancement in technology has carved out niches for specialized staff trained to counter computer and bio threats. In these areas, a college degree alone may not suffice; specific training is essential. Continuous education is crucial for career progression in criminal justice and related fields.
Conclusion
The ongoing potential threats to the United States ensure a steady growth rate in criminal justice and homeland security careers. With the appropriate education, you can serve your community and country effectively in this sector.
