| Learning Outcome (or Gen Ed Essential Skill) | Summary of Results | Reflection on Focus Area | Intepretation of Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Correctly explain the U.S. and New Mexico Criminal Justice Systems, the criminal law, the law of arrest, search and seizure, and the criminal trial process. | Based on the focus area of student performance solely on exam results, 89% of the students successfully met the standard by achieving a minimum score of 75% on written exams in the combined assessed courses. | Although the data reflects that student results failed to meet the standard of the hypothetical analysis based solely on written exam results, 91% of students met the standard based on combined written exam and assignment results. | This shows us that although the overall success rate, based on combined written exam and assignment results, of students completing LEA 1014 and LEA 1015 remains high, improvement could be made in the area of exam results. |
| 4. Demonstrate the ability to effectively perform the responsibilities of a law enforcement officer. | 100% of students who participated in the lab component of LEA 1010, which consists of Officer Survival reality-based training scenarios, successfully met the standards and passed. | The results support the focus area question as the students are displaying the ability to apply what they've learned and effectively perform the duties of an entry-level law enforcement officer. | The results show that the instruction that students are receiving during the CNM Law Enforcement Academy is preparing them to perform the duties of an entry-level law enforcement officer and is readying them for on-the-job training with their respective law enforcement agencies. |
