Harlem Avenue) on Tuesday, October 21 from 9:45am to 10:30am, and then again later that day from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in the Student Lounge.

[Bridgeview, IL] Northwestern College’s Juvenile Justice Classes were given a second visit from the Bridgeview Police Department as part of a partnership developed to engage the Criminal Justice students with current, hands-on knowledge from juvenile officers working in the field. Three visits were scheduled as part of the Summer Quarter’s Juvenile Justice Class, with each visit calibrated to intensify as the students’ knowledge in the area of law widened. Last week the Bridgeview Police Department provided its second of three presentations for the course, this one by Juvenile Officer Patricia Prince who also currently serves as Bridgeview’s D.A.R.E officer. This partnership with the Bridgeview Police is the College’s first multi-presentation initiative on a single law enforcement topic, although law enforcement officers from numerous local, state and federal agencies frequently come out to speak to classes as special guest speakers throughout the year.
[Bridgeview, IL] Northwestern College’s Criminal Justice Department has partnered with Sergeant Carl Michalski of the Bridgeview Police Department who will speak to its Juvenile Justice classes on three separate visits as the classes move through their Summer Quarter curriculum. This is the first multi-presentation initiative on a single law enforcement topic for Northwestern College and the Bridgeview Police Department, although law enforcement officers from numerous local, state and federal agencies frequently come out to speak to classes as special guest speakers throughout the year.
In early July Sergeant Michalski addressed the Juvenile Justice classes during the second week of the Summer Quarter curriculum. He will return during weeks five and seven of the Quarter to speak to the same classes of students, with his presentations intensifying as the class explores and becomes more proficient with juvenile justice issues.
