Incentives for Continuing Criminal Justice Education are Better than Ever
Understanding and responding to the dangers of the post-9/11 world has become one of the most important priorities facing public safety professionals today. For this reason, well-educated and highly skilled professionals are in demand. Programs such as the online Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice degree at Portland State University (www.online.ccj.pdx.edu) help public safety professionals prepare for the challenges to come. There has never been a better time than now or a greater need for law enforcement and other criminal justice professionals to continue their education. In May 2006, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded $1.7 billion to states, urban areas, and territories to prepare for and respond to terrorist attacks and other disasters.
