The creation of the Criminal Justice “Study Hall” forum was inspired by one of your fellow students: Betty Ray Mydland.  The general concept behind this particular forum or “Study Hall” is to provide students in our various Criminal Justice programs with a dedicated “space” to openly discuss criminal justice program issues, lessons, topics, careers, questions, news, ideas, etc.

Thanks to Betty for this excellent recommendation. Well, the forum has been created. It’s up to our forum community to spread the word and get as many of your peers engaged as possible. I’m really looking forward to watching this Study Hall evolve. 

If you haven’t registered for the Ashworth University Student Forum yet, take a minute to do so.  It literally only takes a minute before you’re ready to join the discussion. 

We encourage all of our Criminal Justice/Legal Studies students to begin participating in this new Study Hall today!  Get involved with your student community!

Security professionals, get used to hearing about “Fusion Centers.” This is a cooperative effort of Federal, State, City, Tribal, etc. law enforcement and first responder units sharing information and coordinating efforts to combat terrorism. Like pieces of a puzzle, bits of information often fit together to form a picture. So too does a bit of information from a local police department about say, an unlicensed foreign driver who is stopped and maybe Federal intelligence information about such a person. Fusion Centers have been quite effective, but are still disjointed. They are here to stay, so be sure you are familiar with them!
