Building Partnerships through Policing

Catalog description

Description: The course explores the fundamentals of policing, introducing students to important concepts in and practices related to policing with particular focus on the college setting. This course is aimed at students considering a law enforcement career or interested in learning more about policing. Part of OSUPD's mission is to educate students about how we police the community. Applying both theoretical knowledge with practical application introduces the realities faced by modern law enforcement. By taking this course, students will gain an introspective, applied perspective of law enforcement. Students will be required to complete a release waiver that allows them to participate in some of the practical skills illustrated throughout the course, including a ride-along with an OSUPD officer and interacting with the firearms simulator.
