Grossmont college's Criminal Justice program has a chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association's Lambda Alpha Epsilon. This is a national organization that was founded by August Vollmer in 1937. Its purpose is to foster creative thinking, establish professional networks that may help with future employment, to help promote higher standards of educational attainment among public safety members.

 Our chapter is actively seeking students to participate in regional and national competitions, which include firearms, crime scene investigation, physical fitness, written competitions and essay papers.  We would like to compete in both National and Regional competitions, depending upon student interests and fundraising efforts!  We’ve competed as far away as Virginia!

 Membership is $42 to join initially, with annual dues. This pays for the full year and includes the National dues) Email us for a membership application and additional information.  Applications are available in the AOJ office, room 360.

 LAE members also take field trips, such as to the FBI crime lab in Washington a few years ago, as well as to local prisons and other law enforcement agencies. Plus, it looks pretty good on your resume too, especially if you’re an active participant or officer in the club! Several of our members have gone on to careers in law enforcement, corrections, and forensics.       

 Monthly meetings are currently held on the first Friday of each month, in room 361, at 6pm.  If that Friday falls on a three-day weekend (Holiday) the meeting is postponed for one week.
