By Rob Wagner Staff Writer 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 district attorney in the Pasadena branch office.
