Q: (Initially posted on 11/12/02) FROM MENTEE CHANTEL C. IN IL
I'm interested in going in to the police academy. What [are five top colleges for police enforcement that I should consider] when I graduate in 2004?

I don't know what police academies are considered the best so I can't answer your question directly. Right now GEM-SET does not have any law enforcement career women as mentors, but it is true that more and more technology is being used to solve crime, improve our justice system, and improve public safety. You may be able to find a local law enforcement officer who could tell you about police academies in the regions where you might like to have a career.

Here is one more suggestion; if you are interested in the causes of crime as well as the best ways to control crime, you may want to consider a major in criminal justice.
