New Windbreakers for the Students in the Criminal Justice Academy

The Description

   With these funds I will be able to furnish the students new windbreakers.  The windbreakers the students currently have are are old, have holes in them and have the Academy logo coming off.  The students involved in the program are between the grades of 9th-12th and the ages of 14-18 years old.  Getting them new windbreakers would give them pride in wearing them and in their academy.  The students in this academy choose to be in this 4 year program and not all of them have the resources to buy this type of equipment on their own.  The windbreakers will cost $25 a piece and I need 130 jackets.  

   The Criminal Justice program offers a sequence of courses that provide coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills. Students are prepared for further education and careers in all five pathways within the Law, Public Safety and Security Career Cluster through project-based, hands-on learning activities. Practical skills and field exercises include: courtroom demeanor and testifying, report writing, identification, collection and preservation of evidence, interviewing techniques, radio communications, patrol techniques, traffic direction, traffic crash investigations, defensive tactics, CPR, First Aid, and fingerprinting. Students have the opportunity to earn industry certification as Public Service Aides (PSA), as well as Accredited Legal Secretaries (ALS). College credit opportunities are an available benefit for eligible Criminal Justice Academy students through articulation agreements with local colleges and universities.

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase other equipment that the students need. For example new belts and belt buckles and new rank insignia's for the officers' shirts.
