Criminal justice majors are getting a
chance to put their studies into practice
in USC's Reserve Police Officer (RPO)
program.
Students must be 21 years old, have
a 2.0 minimum grade point ratio and
successfully complete a two-week
training session to become RPOs, said
Officer Ken West, RPO coordinator at
the University Police Department.
After the 80-hour session, RPOs are
state-commissioned and have full arrest
power, he said.
CURRENTLY 16 students, 14 men
and two women, are walking the
Hftnortmont'c fMtihf "hpats" Of riding
with USC police officers in territorial
cars patrolling the campus.
RPOs work 20 hours a week, in two
eight-hour shifts and one four-hour
shift, coordinated with their class
schedule, he said.
"They work right along in the areas
we do and augment our force."
RPOs also work with security at
football games and at the Coliseum for
, DasketDau games ana concerts.
