In response to these changes in the criminal justice profession, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville has partnered with several state and federal agencies to provide certificate courses geared towards criminal justice professionals.
Our online courses are instructor-led, in a format that is geared towards working police officers who serve in isolated communities or who have unpredictable schedules. With asynchronous online courses, the officers are able to log into their virtual classroom and complete their assignments at their convenience, day or night.
In addition to the flexible schedule, officers enrolled in the online courses benefit from networking with other professionals in the virtual classroom. These open forum discussions provide a level of real-world application to the learning environment that officers find very helpful.
All courses are taught by seasoned Criminal Justice Professionals with a B.S. or M.S. degree, and at least 5 years of Supervisory or Administrative experience in a Criminal Justice environment.

"I enjoyed the class and it was very informative for me. Though I've never had an online class it was easy and was
interesting to check everyday the submissions given by other students in the class. ...I would recommend this class to any officer in law enforcement. A lot of times you hear officers questioning why we do things or why the chief wants us to do this or that, and this class helps one to understand some of the reasoning behind and the benefits that can come from it."
