Glossary of Benjamin about Police Technology

 

Police Tech with Ben

This glossary will be mainly used to help people like me. to find new words and build a better understanding of policing. Throughout this glossary, I will write about my field of study, which is Police Technology, and what I do at school. I've been in the program for one year, and I am starting my second year at the college Ahuntsic. This glossary will be for the future students in Police Technology that will have to do a glossary on theirs English classes. This will help them to make theirs or give you a better understanding of how things works in CEGEP. The method I used to find my words on my glossary was quite simple. I just checked the page 309 on Actively Engaged Online to see words related to my field of study, and choose the ones that I though were the most interesting ones.
