East Dubuque Schools Offering Law Enforcement Classes

The East Dubuque school district has introduced a new set of classes that focuses on introducing students to law enforcement. The classes, introductions to criminal justice and criminology, focus on teaching high school students about the various aspects of law enforcement and the challenges faced by those in that career. While criminal justice classes have been offered previously in Jo Daviess County through the Jo Daviess-Carroll CTE Academy, East Dubuque is the first school district in the county to offer the courses independently. Teaching the class is Nathan Tyler who was hired as the district’s director of safety and security. Tyler said his classes will try to give a well-rounded look at criminal justice and law enforcement.
