Thousands Of Jobs Are Waiting For Returning
Military Veterans
There are literally thousands of jobs in law enforcement and
corrections sitting vacant right now in California. Military personnel who are
preparing for separation and a return to civilian life have many excellent
opportunities to work as a police officer, deputy sheriff, or correctional
officer for any one of over 600 criminal justice agencies in California. These
positions offer generous benefits and salaries than can exceed $100,000 a year.
Military veterans are highly desirable candidates because of the experience and
training they have acquired while in the service. Experience has shown us
that military veterans transition into civilian law enforcement and corrections
careers with relative ease. Veterans are highly motivated students and
usually arrive at our academy in above average physical shape. Law
enforcement agencies and correctional facilities are waiting eagerly for the
return of military personnel to fill over 8000 law enforcement jobs and some
4000 jobs in corrections.
We Are Ready To Help You Plan
The Criminal Justice Training Center at Napa Valley College offers a
full array of entry level state certified training academies to prepare you for
a career in law enforcement or corrections once you separate from the military.
We are located on a college campus that is ready and able to work with military
veterans. We are preparing right now to increase our services to serve the
many veterans who will be returning from the Middle East. Our training
center staff is excited about your return and wants to help you start planning
for your next career. Our campus offers students direct access to
financial aid and personnel who can help you collect your G.I. Bill benefits.
We have a student health center that offers many free physical and mental health
services to students. Our counseling office provides educational planning
services to help you transfer your prior educational credits and will help you
plan for earning a college degree or for transfer to a four-year college.
Our college is actively developing other support services for you. Take a
look at what we have to offer so far.
How To Get Started
You can begin planning for a law enforcement or corrections career while you are
still in the military. There are two options for getting into a basic
training academy for police officer, deputy sheriff, or correctional officer.
The first option is to apply for a "trainee" position with a city or county that
hires and pays students to attend an academy. This is an excellent option
if you already know what city or county you want to work for. The second
option is to put yourself through an academy and to use your G.I. Bill benefits
to pay for your expenses. This option allows you to explore your options
and consider jobs anywhere in California. Many smaller police departments
do not have trainee positions and hire only applicants who have already
completed the police academy. You can explore job opportunities at law
enforcement agencies that interest you by reviewing their individual websites.

Napa Valley College also offers an Associates Degree in the Administration of
Justice. Many of the Administration of Justice courses may be taken online
from any location in the world with Internet access. If you are going to
be in the military for a more extended period of time, you can get a head start
by enrolling in one or more of these online courses. We currently offer
AJ120 - Introduction to the Administration of Justice, AJ121 - Criminal Law, and
AJ123 - Community Policing. To enroll, simply complete an online
