Joshua's Police Tech.
Hello everyone, my name is Joshua Harris-Paquin. I am currently studying Police Technology. I completed a year. I'm doing my second year as we speak. I am studying this program to become a policeman. I created this glossary to help anyone who is interested in this amazing field of study. If you are reading this, this glossary will help you understand the basic of this intriguing job and push forward your knowledge about the job of a policeman. You probably know a little bit about the policeman job already. For example, they give speeding tickets and arrest criminals, but this only scratches the surface of this incredible job. Now without further a do, here are the definition that I found using these references. References: www.dictionary.com en.wikipedia.org
