Hey Adamj - i've been wanting this course since i started Senior High. And i can say now - that i'm HEAPS excited about getting it. I plan on doing something like being a Research Analyst for a government sector - working for the police wouldn't be so bad. If i plan on moving back to Canada then FBI HERE I COME! I'm *so* interested in doing Forensic Sciences as one of my electives. How about you?

I too have seen it as a good pathway, I am interested in Legal Practice and to become a Crown Prosecutor.

Criminology is a good degree, my father completed the BSoSc in Policing at Charles Sturt after completing Criminal Justice at UWS, (similar to the Modern Criminology) and is currently a Sergeant in the Police.

Criminoloy can get you into pretty much almost all law enforcement bodies.

I am going to seek Psychology subjects with the Criminology, personally.

my friends father is the sherriff of parramatta police station.

 

[adamj]

cool, but the Office of the Sheriff is under the Attorney General's Department, not the New South Wales Police, the Sheriff has no jurisdiction in most police matters in eforcement of prevention.

 

[Dingo2004]

who cares
a sherriff sounds good coz its a high rank
which means more income
das why we goto uni.. so we get more pay
otherwise screw uni.. id be getting a job right now
lol

 

[adamj]

No

A sherrif is not a rank, it is an officer of the court. My father is a sergeant in the police, who has worked and managed one of the most sophisticated policing operations in NSW, with praise from superiors, from establishing one of the Best Transit Police units for the Induction Royal Easter Show at Hombush when it first was held there, through to Internal Affiars.

Sherrifs don't need uni degree's they are counted as a Public Service level 3-4 I think, which is reletively low. What happened was we had Sheriffs before police, then after a police was set up, America was independent from Britain, so the change did not follow through to a great extent.
