Jennifer Burton, B.S. '10, M.S. '14, a crime analyst for the Frederick Police Department, tells WJZ-TV how she leveraged her University of Baltimore criminal justice education into a successful career with tremendous potential.
"Although I knew I did not want to be an officer, there were many other civilian jobs available that assist police departments," Burton says. "I obtained an A.A. in Criminal Justice, B.S. in Criminal Justice and a master's degree in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Law Enforcement. I knew further education would set me apart from others applying for the same jobs."
Burton says her education has opened up a number of career opportunities for her:
"My educational experiences have greatly helped me in my current position," she says. "Specific projects helped me realize my passion for problem/crime analysis. After completing research on crime analyst positions in the Baltimore/DC area, I knew that I had more than enough education."
