The Protective Services Program at the J.
M. Tawes Technology and Career Center was created in 1993 to provide a
pool of trained candidates for Somerset County's largest labor market -
the Protective Services profession. The program provides instruction in
Law Enforcement, Corrections, Private Security, the Military, and Court
operations. It was the first program of its kind in Maryland.
Graduates having a "B" average, and who pass a test administered by the college, receive six credits at the Wor-Wic Community College in Salisbury, Maryland. Our students spend part of the day at their
home schools, Crisfield and Washington High Schools, and the rest of the
day at the Tech Center. Among the courses the students study are fingerprinting,
forensic science, criminal and motor vehicle law, the history and
Many graduates of the program from previous years are now entering the Protective Services field, with the goal of making it a career. Technology is a big part of this dynamic program, with much practical computer and internet work, widespread use of video equipment, and even the practical application of RADAR and breath testing equipment.

are interested in contacting other schools with similar programs, and propose
the formation of a group to coordinate activities, training, and friendly
interaction between students around the world. Contact
us if you would like to participate.
Leadership is an important part of Protective Services, and leadership training is an important part of our program. We use the Canadian Association of Student Activity Advisors (CASAA) handbook in addition to other reference materials, including Sun Tsu's 'The Art of War,' an ancient text of such timeless value that it is a standard in business schools. |
