In addition. TMCC is a part of a Criminal .lu'>t1cc Ad\ i-.ol) Committee and closely \\Orks "ith a variety of Law Enforcement agencies and I lighcr Education (UNR). Underserved Student Populations As can be seen, TMCC attracts d ive rse group of students which is a primary goal of Law Enforcement. The idea that a more diverse Police Force reflects the community in which they serve is a primary goal ofTMCC. This in tum directly affects how well the Police Agencies can imple ment the Community Policing Programs and the red uction o f crime.

The number students l.'arning. a degree has increased since 2008/09.

Evaluating Relevancy of Curriculum Course Content See copied catalog pages be low Degree/Certificate Requirements See copied catalog pages below Truckee Meadows Community College I Curriculum TMCC's associate of applied science in law enforcement degree is designed for students wishing to explore or enter a highly rewarding career in the criminai justice system.

The associate of applied science in law enforcement is designed as a practitioner oriented and possibly terminal degree. This degree is not intended as a university transfer degree for those students who wish to continue on to complete their bachelor degree. Students interested in university transfer should instead major in the associate of arts in criminal justice degree.

There has been a slight increase to on-line offerings. Faculty Qualifications Dependent upon position; instructor bachelors of science or masters preferred OR some college with substantial experience. All transferable courses require a minimum of masters degree. All full-time faculty need a minimum of a masters. Part-time dependent upon position/class. As mentioned supra, full-time faculty to part-time faculty is completely out of synch. The colleges current ratio is 48/52 with a goal of60/40. We currently sit at 25/75. The fall of2013 saw a 35% of CRJ classes would be taught by full-time faculty. There are currently only one tenured full-time faculty member with one temporary member. A committee had been formed for a search but has since been disbanded. Therefore we havel6 faculty with 14 being part-time and one being temporary. Current faculty qualifications: four (4) bachelors degree, ten (I 0) masters degrees, and two (2) doctorate. Post Completion Objectives (transfer, job placement, etc.) It's TMCC's goal to prepare students to either transfer to a higher education environment or enter the lawenforcement community professionally. Secondary Student Preparation Efforts Presently there are no classes that are articulated through Tech Prep in the Criminal Justice Program. The articulation agreement with Sierra Nevada Job Corp Center (SNJCC) expired in May 2012. SNJCC's Homeland Security Vocation previously articulated to TMCC's Criminal Justice Program: CRJ164 CRJ 214 Sierra Nevada Job Corps has expressed an interest in pursuing a new articulation agreement which is currently the subject of discussion. External Review TMCC has a criminal justice advisory board comprised of local law enforcement and TMCC Criminal Justice staff. Members change on a regular basis depending on agencies participating. It is the goal of the advisory board to meet twice during the academic year. Non-credit Training Offered Non-credit training offered through local police academies. Curriculum Development Strategies Assessment Findings and Strategies Truckee Meadows Community College External Resource Recommendations and Implementation Plans I} Adviso ry Committee 2} LocaJ law-enforcement requirements and academy as well as state certification Anticipated Factors Affecting Curriculum and Strategies As has been the most recent experience, the economy, while it can increase student enrollment can devastate the ability to increase faculty. There arc a number of positives affecting curriculum. The Crim in al Justice Advisory Committee continue~ to address curriculum to stay current with trends in the ticld. With the introduction or funding, TMCC can address adding mon: classes with labs such as crime scene processing. firearms. computer crimes and forensics, all of which arc at the forefront of solving crimes and readying the student for their future. It is hoped that the current isolation of the Criminal Justice program from the Police academy can be reversed and it remain'> an ongoing process. Additional classes which were once taught at TMCC including forensics need to bl! updakd with new equipment and qualified instructors. Currently there are several High Schools in Nevada that oiler forensics in their curriculum and it is hoped that TMCC can continue that education. In short. TMCC is currently understaffed both academically and in the classified staff. TMCC is hopeful that while we have digressed a Iittlc from our most recent Progress Report that we can make some headway in the future. The Program has been streamlined and succL:ssfully coordinated with the University of Nevada. Reno to articulate transfer agreements. UNR has reviewed and updated the agreements based on TMCCs revisions.

Funding Sources Tuition and fees Resource Development Strategies Staffing Issues and Strategies The program has lost 500/o of its tenured full-time faculty over the past six (6) years. There is one full-time faculty with one full-time but temporary instructor. TMCC lost through retirement in January 201 3 the second full-time instructor. A recommendation had been made through the 2009 self-study that additiona l full-time staff be added. That never came to fruition. Once a new staff member is added the program still falls far short of the 2009 recommendation of a 60/40 ratio. Hiring of a new full-time faculty has not transpired at the time of this PUR. One of the challenges to hiring a new full-time teaching fac ulty member is budgeting beyond system cuts.
