The Law Enforcement Technology program is specifically designed to prepare the student to begin a career with local, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies. This educational program develops the skills needed to begin and progress through a career in law enforcement. Students seeking a career that requires a baccalaureate degree should refer to the Criminal Justice program. A student who completes this curriculum will receive an Associate of Applied Science degree. Upon completion of all degree requirements, qualified students receive academic endorsement of eligibility to sit for the state licensure exam to be a Texas Peace Officer.

The program also awards an Enhanced Skills Certificate upon completion of additional technical courses.
