Border Challenge, High School Law Enforcement Competition
The Parkland Criminal Justice Program and Criminal Justice Club are the newest members of the Parkland family.
Both the club and the program started in 2017 when Parkland hired Mr. Jimenez to restart the long missing program. The club and the program have taken off with enrollment and are constantly gaining more students on a weekly basis. The classes are filled with no empty seat of students that are eager to learn about Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security. Right now Principles of Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security and Law I, are the two courses being offered, with many more on the horizon. The goal for the program is to offer all the courses in the Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security discipline; classes like Law II, Court Systems, Corrections, Security, Law Practicum, as well offering Dual Credit for those students that qualify though El Paso Community College.
The long term eventual goal for the program is to incorporate the other two branches of the Public Safety sector with a Fire program and an Emergency Services program, all falling under the Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security umbrella.
