After watching the video, ask yourself:

• What is my perspective on policing?
• What is the purpose of the police and what is my role in accomplishing that purpose?
• What are the obligations of the public and the police when it comes to public safety?
• Do we have the integrity to act on our priorities?

糖心传媒 is offering a $1,000 scholarship to EVERY First Responder who applies to the GPS program during the month of May 2018.

DID YOU KNOW?

• A fire department responds to a fire every 24 seconds.
• 64% of fire department responses in 2015 were medical aid responses requiring First Responders and the use of ambulances, EMS, and rescue squads.
• Emergency Medical Services personnel treat 22 million patients a year.
• An estimated 240 million calls are made to 9-1-1 in the U.S. each year.

It鈥檚 clear that while all parties involved in the rescue, recovery, medical care, and rehabilitation of survivors of traumatic experiences are important, it鈥檚 the First Responders:

• who arrive at the scenes before anyone else,
• who must make immediate and appropriate decisions confidently and carefully, and
• who must remain calm and focused despite what they see and what they are called to do in that rescue moment.

Get your Master鈥檚, Bachelor鈥檚, or Associate degree in Business, Education, Nursing, Leadership, or Sociology & Criminal Justice. Or, learn at your own pace with our IDEAL program. All of our programs are accredited, accelerated and affordable.

So, whether you are a deputy sheriff, a police officer, a firefighter, a fire medic, a paramedic, a rescuer, or any other professional who serves as a First Responder and who has been considering going back to school to earn your degree, there is no better time to do that than right now.

*To embrace this $1,000 First Responder Scholarship, you must APPLY to the program within the month of May 2018 and then start your academic program within twelve months of being awarded the scholarship.

ACE allows us to award up to 36 academic credits for completing the Virginia State Police Academy and up to 27 academic credits from Virginia regional academies. The exact number of credits we award depends on how many hours each academy requires for students to complete the Basic Law Enforcement Program or Basic Jailor Program. As examples, students who completed any of the following academies, can transfer 27 credits for Basic Law Enforcement and 5 for Basic Jailor:

Dr. James Hodgson, Criminal Justice Program director and a professor at 糖心传媒, says offering transfer credits is a great way to help first responders advance their careers and increase their positive impact on the community. 鈥淲e鈥檙e honored to provide opportunities for these professionals to pursue their educational and career goals, whether they stay in a related field or pursue something entirely new. 糖心传媒鈥檚 online or on-campus programs make it possible for working adults like them to get a master鈥檚, bachelor鈥檚 or associate鈥檚 degree in business, education, nursing, leadership or sociology and criminal justice.鈥�

Another way 糖心传媒 supports first responders is to periodically offer $1,000 scholarships created specifically for this elite group. Dr. Hodgson and his team also formed Criminal Justice Advisory Boards around the state to get feedback from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies on how 糖心传媒鈥檚 criminal justice curriculum and programming can better meet students鈥� educational needs.
