Retired/Ex LEOS teaching HS?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Retired/Ex LEOS teaching HS?

Posted: 9/4/2018 9:07:59 PM EDT

I know of an ex sheriff's deputy that left the dept and now teaching some kind of LEO classes at a local HS. Seems to be doing well and I heard the district offered to help pay if he went for his masters, so he's got a 4 year degree already.

Anybody doing this?

I'm hoping kids taking these classes are well behaved and not a PITA. Anywho just curious.

I would be on death row the week after they put me in a high school.

No trial-straight to a cell.

Lots of retired cops teach Criminal Justice classes in HS. They're often connect to LE Explorers as well.

Personally, I became a teacher after I retired from the Navy. Troops to Teachers is a great program.

Not LEO and not retired but I headed up a Fire Safety and EMT program for the local career center compact. Was involved with a failed inner city program in the past.

Going to be a lot of difference based community demographics and school support. I can try and answer any specific you may have.

For reference, I'm not employed by the school.

I have never heard of a high school offering criminal justice classes.

Often times the are called Criminal Science and involve law review, tactics, and crime scene investigation. Meant to be a primer for a career as an LEO.
