The Administration of Justice program prepares students for entry-level positions in criminal justice and for transfer to the California State Universities. There are three components in administration of justice – law enforcement, the court system, and corrections. Law enforcement is the gateway function and includes police, sheriffs, and federal law enforcement agencies. The court system is responsible for adjudicating crimes as presented by the prosecutor. The court-room work group includes the judge, the attorneys, bailiffs, court clerks and court reporters. Corrections which comprise incarceration and community-based corrections, include custody officers, probation and parole officers, program counselors, and other rehabilitative services. The Administration of Justice department at Los Medanos College offers an Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer which can be completed in 2 to 3 years by a full-time student.
