Criminal Justice Program Chair Appointed as Instructor at Maine Criminal Justice Academy |
|
Chair of the Criminal Justice Program, Cornel Plebani, was recently appointed as an instructor at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy. This comes as a particular honor for Plebani because he is a civilian instructor. Civilians only make up 10% of instructors at the Academy, and Plebani says he is honored to be a part of that number.
This opportunity will mean that Plebani is in an instructional role for every single certified full-time law enforcement officer in Maine.
For EMCC Criminal Justice students, it means that they have access to an instructor with first-hand knowledge of courses at the Academy and a resource with invaluable advice for those interested in a law enforcement career.

Meet a Current EMCC Student |
|
|
|
My name is Evan, and I am in my second semester of the Criminal Justice Program at EMCC. I am currently working as a Corrections Officer at Mountain View Correctional Facility in Charleston, Maine.
Through my early stages at EMCC, I have learned many things, especially the value of integrity. Even with remote learning, the teaching style from Professor Plebani and the plethora of guest speakers have made the classes extremely informational and interactive.
The challenges from my first few courses at EMCC have prepared me for the challenges I now have to face in my job. I would recommend this program to anyone who is wanting to pursue a career in any law enforcement field.
