Careers


According to the U.S. Department of Labor, New York State can expect a great deal of growth in employment opportunities in the criminal justice field. Between 2004 and 2014, the number of available jobs in probation, corrections, law enforcement, policing, criminal investigations, mental health, and addiction counseling is expected to increase by 12,160. When jobs in community service, counseling, social work, and social service specialists are included, the figure rises to 22,920.
