The entire process of attaining my degree was a positive one and I am extremely thankful I chose KC”, Styninger says.

He adds, “I originally decided to go to Kaskaskia as it was close to home and had a very reputable criminal justice program that I believe continues to grow and improve. I heard great things about Professor Ken Ingersoll and he and the program exceeded my expectations”.

Brock says that KC helped him with a "jump start" towards with his criminal justice education. “Going into the criminal justice program at KC, I knew that after a short time after graduating I would be trying to get hired as a police officer and go to the academy. My education at the KC criminal justice program gave me a solid foundation and preparation for my training at the police academy as well as adapting to my career after all of my training.  Professor Ingersoll does a fantastic job with this program and I cannot thank him enough for helping me build a solid foundation for my career in criminal justice”.

Kaskaskia College Criminal Justice Professor Ken Ingersoll adds, “It is one of the greatest joys to watch my students go through the program, graduate, and start their careers.  That is the strength of our Career and Technical Educational programs at KC.  I love being a positive part of our student’s start in the profession.”
