Professor Rick Los

Welcome

This is going to be a unique, fun and exciting class--much different than your typical Criminal Justice course. If you follow what is going on with Law Enforcement then you know they are being over burdened. I spent 24 years as a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff. After my retirement I worked for two private security firms. Some of the things private security is doing now were done by Law Enforcement in the past. If you are interested in private security you've picked the right time. The field demand and pay is growing. A great career opportunity.

Good luck...Rick Los
