    I believe all applicants that have used any illegal narcotics, or sold any illegal drugs should be automatically disqualified from gaining employment as law enforcement. No one that wants to be superior to others or authority should do anything illegal. If they have committed any type of crime they shouldn’t be granted the privilege of arresting or restraining other criminals, who could have potentially been their parent in crime and/or drug use. They shouldn’t be trusted, they could easily take drugs or money into their possession and use it for unlawful reasons. Anyone in the law enforcement career field should lead by example, and be someone with self-control.…

    Discussion #1 There are many different learning expectations to have when taking the Intro to Criminal Justice course. The first personal learning expectation I hope to achieve is how the justice department works because it does become quite confusing in certain areas. There are some people who may see the rules of the criminal justice system as flawed and would like to know just exactly how it indeed works in day to day life.
