This is a fun course. Despite it being 2.5 hours, it's only on Monday nights and professor Mitchell is a wonderful storyteller. Formerly, Professor Mitchell has served as police chief for multiple counties (currently UMPD), has been chief of the Maryland State Police, and has served for the department of Homeland Security. In addition, Professor Mitchell also has his JD. Thus he is extremely informed and knowledgeable not only on course material but also on life and leadership skills. He is more than willing to be a reference for his students in the future, and write letters of recommendation. He is a kind man who wants all of his students to succeed and the class only consists of 3 exams which are very passable.

This man is so nice. He talks a lot and rambles and most of the time fills up almost the whole 2.5 hours but its only 3 exams for the whole class and if you go over your notes and read the book its so simple. He tells you everything that will be on the test and gives you barely any information to know. Super interesting super nice and a chill easy class taught by a police officer with cool stories. Definitely take him

He's a great professor. Just do the readings and take good notes in lecture and you'll be fine. He also provides a break roughly in the middle of the lectures since the class is 2 and a half hours. You should definitely take advantage of extra credit, it helped me out a lot.

I liked the class. There are 3 (50) question multiple choice exams and that’s it. He’s the Police chief of UMD. He offers extra credit, a police ride along for 5 extra percentage points. He rambles a bit about stories from his experience that will not be on the exam but it’s interesting. He also post the slides on line
