Code
of Ethics
DPS incorporated a code of conduct for all majors
in the mid-1990s to insure that students maintain the highest degree
of conduct possible. The
code is actively enforced with violation penalties ranging from probationary
status to removal from the program.
Community involvement and participation are essential elements of DPS Majors. Numerous opportunities for community service are available each semester. Students are required to complete 100 hours of community service for graduation.
Completed in February, 1999, the technology center employs 13 Pentium 4 computers to provide criminal justice professionals with the latest in training needs, from scene sketching, AFIX print technologies and crime scene management databases to digital and scanned imaging, as well as Datamaxx Lynxx 2010 and CJIS Law software. Software is also incorporated for investigative and other training purposes.
DPS proudly relies on an active advisory council of federal, state and local representatives from law enforcement, corrections, courts and fire. This dynamic group of professionals provides advice, interaction, program review and assistance in a wide variety of activities.
Seminars are offered for Criminal Justice professionals and current majors throughout the year. Seminars are also hosted for a number of agencies including the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Kansas Highway Patrol, Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration and others.
