Perhaps unsurpassed by any other
community college in the Southern
California area, the administration of
justice division at PCC has initiated a
program for students looking for a
career in law enforcement.
Included in the program is a variety
of classes taught at the Civil Defense
Center in Eaton Canyon. The Civil
Defense Center is the site for off-
campus training classes for peace
officers at PCC.
A firearms class, taught by Jack
Preston, a former Marine firearms
instructor , is offered for the purpose of
training security officers in the han¬
dling of guns. The class teaches
PCC Board of Trustee members
have questioned some of the
procedures of Assembly Bill 2728
which would allow members to serve
out their full terms after re-districting.
As it stands now. community college
district trustees would lose their office
automatically in apy re-districting.
The board is questioning procedures
in the event two trustees end up in the
same district. Robert Considine, board
president, explained. "The board is
trying to get clarification on what
would happen."
Elections for board members are
done on a rotating basis with even-
numbered districts up for election next
year. Two years later, the odd num¬
bered districts are elected.
students how to handle a gun and when
they are justified in using it.
The California state law requires all
private peace officers to have basic
training in the use of firearms before
employment.
Vincent Hughes, coordinator for the
administration of justice division, is
highly enthusiastic about the enroll¬
ment this semester.
"Our class enrollment is very high."
said Hughes, who is a former FBI
agent and law school graduate.
After John Sullivan's retirement two
years ago. Hughes was appointed
coordinator for the division. He has
been with PCC since 19(59.
Included in the line of experts
teaching law enforcement are the
One possibility would let the trustee
whose term was up first, drop from the
seat. That would leave the board short,
according to Considine. The district
could then have a special election to fill
the seat. Another possibility would be
that both trustees would have to run
against each other at the end of the
term.
The bill was scheduled to be heard in
the Assembly Educational Committee
Wednesday.
Considine said if the bill is not
passed, the board would still have to
re-district. "Re-districting will take
place when the whole board sets the
new boundaries and finds them ac¬
ceptable. There is no set time for
completion of the re-districting.”
Honorable Warren L. Ettinger, judge
of the Municipal Court of Pasadena,
and Michael J. Montagna, head deputy

branch office.
