9 Law Enforcement Studies Diploma Program The role of law enforcement in society is complex, sometimes dangerous, often challenging, and always open to public scrutiny and comment. Today, an increasing number of employees in public and private organizations are called upon to perform specialized investigation, enforcement, and regulatory compliance functions that complement those performed by police and other peace officers. These public and private officials must address issues that are increasingly more sophisticated, organized, and technically challenging than in the past. The specialized law enforcement mandates and issues faced by these officials require a knowledge base and set of competencies that are somewhat different from, but generally complementary to, those required by police officers. Going through the LESD program gave me a head start on my policing career. This program is unlike any other. It offers very unique opportunities to gain insight into the world of law enforcement.
