Je'ahna Petties, a senior in the Law & Public Safety Program at Somerset County Vocational and Technical High School in New Jersey, won a first place gold medal in the New Jersey SkillsUSA Championships, Criminal Justice category.

Graduates of the law program may continue their education and pursue careers as police officers, firefighters, security officers, paralegals, lawyers, and sheriff's officers. Je'ahna plans to continue her studies in the law and public safety field at St. Peter's College after she graduates in June.

Je'ahna utilized the skills and knowledge she acquired at the Vo-Tech to capture the gold medal in the NJ SkillsUSA Championships. She completed a job interview, initiated a motor vehicle stop, handled a domestic violence scenario, administered CPR, conducted finger printing, and scored well on a written exam. She earned her CPR First Responder Certification last year, which qualified her for the CPR portion of the contest.
