The System is organized into three major components: law enforcement, courts, and corrections. Within each component are a variety of positions that offer a wide range of both traditional and non-traditional career opportunities. These career opportunities include, but are not limited to, law enforcement agencies, counseling and social services or human services agencies, court management and administration units, Probation and Parole, and Specialized Security Organizations.

The system, its subdivisions, and many of its employment opportunities exist, in part or whole, in the different levels of government: federal, state, county, and local. Students are introduced to law enforcement and social sciences as they apply to the field of criminal justice.
