The guide, developed to assist those involved in implementing career education programs concerned with public service occupations, contains the basic instructional material recommended for preparation in the areas of public safety, correction, and judicial services. The six units deal with: (1) organization and operation of police departments, (2) basic elements and issues in administration of justice, (3) preventive patrol techniques, (4) investigative techniques, (5) traffic direction and control, and (6) deliquency prevention and control. Detailed suggestions for course content, lists of resource materials, and instructional objectives are provided for each unit as well as teacher and student activities helpful in preparing individuals for entry-level positions in public safety occupations. Appended are a list of resource material suppliers and a 15-page set of unit evaluation questions (designed for duplication) with answer keys. (Author/MS)
