Law Enforcement

Law Enforcement Training

CCC’s law enforcement programs train new officers and provide continued training for current law enforcement officers.

Basic Law Enforcement Training

Prepare for entry-level employment as law enforcement officers with state, county, or municipal governments, or with a private enterprise.

Successful graduates receive a curriculum certificate and are eligible to be sworn as law enforcement officers through the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission and/or the North Carolina Sheriff’s Education and Training Standards Commission once they are hired by a law enforcement agency.

Detention Officer Training

The Detention Officer Certification Course (DOCC) curriculum has been researched and contains the most current information available for detention officers. The Commission mandated 180+ hour course takes approximately five weeks to complete and concludes with a comprehensive written exam. Upon successful completion of the course, the new detention officer will be eligible to be certified as a detention officer in North Carolina.

Please contact Aaron Vassey 704-669-4005 or Phyllis Sims at 704-669-4166 on how to apply to DOCC.

AAS Criminal Justice

The Criminal Justice Technology curriculum focuses on criminal justice systems, criminology, juvenile justice, criminal and constitutional law, investigative principles, ethics, and community relations.

Employment opportunities exist in a variety of local, state, and federal law enforcement, corrections, and security fields. Examples include police officer, deputy sheriff, county detention officer, state trooper, intensive probation/parole surveillance officer, correctional officer, and loss prevention specialist.
