Colorado peace officers who successfully complete the supervisory training provided by the CSC (County Sheriffs of Colorado) and the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) through the Supervisory Institute program and enroll in an additional academic component will be offered undergraduate or graduate credit through UCCS School of Public Affairs innovative programming!

The additional academic component Law Enforcement: Theory and Practice  is a sixteen week online course.

Attention is on the origin of policing, the nature of police organizations and police work, patterns of relations between the police and the public, discretion, and the police role in a socio-legal context.
