I'm in the CRJ program at West Central. After looking around most of the metro Atlanta Sherriffs and city depts, an associates will typically get you an extra 1500-2k a year and nothing more.

Is Gwinnett offering POST certification through the school?

If your trying to get a federal law enforcement job with ONLY a degree,then a criminal justice degree from a Tech school will not get you there. It MIGHT help you once you have like 5yrs experience in law enforcement but not enough to get one for that sole purpose. It clearly states that to be an ATF agent w/o experience you need a bachelors. Alot of those Tech classes use to not transfer for credit to colleges if that is the route you are trying to take. http://www.atf.gov/careers/special-a...ifications.htm
