While taking courses in the Ph.D. program, I was working as a police supervisor.  I was often struck by how relevant the topics covered in the course work were to my job and the policy environment law enforcement agencies operate within.  As I moved up through the ranks and became a police chief and public safety executive, I realized how well my studies had prepared me to develop a “big picture” focus when tackling problems related to crime and disorder.  I had the opportunity to be mentored by excellent faculty who encouraged me to stick with the program and ultimately to choose a dissertation topic that was timely and related to my career.  I am confident the knowledge gained in pursuing this degree enabled me to perform well in prior jobs and to secure my current position.
