The annual Minnesota Corrections Association Conference in Duluth, MN is October 29-31, 2008.   You can access detailed information at: www.mn-ca.org

 Almost every year, Bob Sutter out of Rasmussen College- Mankato has taken students to this annual professional conference for students to network and get more practical knowledge and information  in the corrections field. 

Rasmussen College has had two students win the scholarship to attend in the past.

This year the guest speaker is the author of the novel used in our Domestic Violence course, Dave Pelzer of A Child Called It.

This conference is an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about corrections, increase their network of contacts for employment, and listen to acclaimed author that students have learned about in their course.

Scholarships Provided to Help Those Interested in a Career in Law Enforcement

 

 

The Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association recognizes the need for financial assistance available to students searching for a career in law enforcement.

 

Enforcement of the law in a democratic society is a complex task. The ability of a peace officer to render effective service responsive to the public's need depends heavily upon job knowledge and skills. The Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association recognizes the importance of pre-entry training to the accomplishment of these prerequisites. It also recognizes that some candidates need outside help in meeting the costs of such training. To that end, the MCPA stands ready to offer financial assistance as funds will allow.
