(ARA) - Does the idea of keeping the community safe and helping people interest you? Or maybe you just can't miss an episode of your favorite police detective show. If so, you should consider a job in criminal justice.

People depend on police officers and detectives to protect their lives, property and community. In 2006, 861,000 people held jobs as police and detectives, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Getting a degree in criminal justice can help you get your dream job where you can make a real difference in the world.

In a struggling economy, a college education can be a real asset, making you an indispensable resource. Even if you have a hectic life, there are more education options than ever before, making finding a flexible program easy.

You can start by visiting www.Education180.com, a site dedicated to helping people find a diploma, degree or certificate that can either be taken online or at a local campus.

People with degrees in criminal justice are employed in a variety of fields. Here are several of many options available:

* Uninformed Police Officer

* Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff
These individuals have similar duties, but enforce law on the county level.

* State Police Officers
Often called state troopers, these officers monitor state roads and highways.

* Detectives
Work on crime scenes to investigate facts and evidence in criminal cases.

* Federal Government Positions
There are many areas of the federal government that employ individuals with criminal justice degrees. These include the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Department of Homeland Security.
