SCCC Criminal Justice Club

Behind every statistic is a life lost to a 100% preventable crime. 🚓

As law enforcement patrols enforce our Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign, remember: driving impaired is NEVER worth the risk.

Sussex County Technical School and Sussex County Community College have worked over the past year to expand their partnership, further coordinating curriculum and identifying opportunities for high school students to earn college credit, credentials and advance standing. Their goal is to create clear, expedited, and affordable pathways for Sussex County students to achieve their educational and career goals.
