What Rebecca Does Here

Before an article on CriminalJusticePrograms.com is published or updated, Rebecca checks it against the sources it relies on. That includes every statistic, every hiring, training or academic requirement, every program detail, and every date.

She checks certification and academic requirements against the state POST commissions and hiring agencies that set them, and salary and employment figures against U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. When something doesn’t match its source, it’s corrected before the article goes live.

Rebecca isn’t a law enforcement officer or criminal justice practitioner. Her job is verification: making sure what each article says matches the official sources behind it. Every article on this site shows her name under the byline.

How We Check Our Work

Fact-checking on this site is done by people on our editorial team, never by an AI tool. Our editorial standards explain where our facts come from, how we use AI, and how we handle corrections, and you can meet the rest of the people behind the site on our About page.

If you spot something that looks wrong or out of date, use the corrections contact on our editorial standards page and tell us the page and what needs fixing.
