In access can I lock a specific field

I am building a database to track offense reports. I want to know if i can
lock specific fields so that only authorized personnel have access to change
the data contained in that field. For example; case status field.

Access does not provide this for you, so you would need to program it.

Here's an example of how to approach it:
