Whether viewed individually or collectively, team members are uniquely prepared to provide a safe learning environment. We are committed to the safety and security of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
To summarize the background possessed by the group, four members came to Bellin College with substantive experience in policing. The roles previously held with large agencies include assistant chief, SWAT commander, detective, school resource officer, traffic crash reconstructionist, patrol officer, and state & county corrections officer. Another role, crime scene & evidence technician, involved the officer being a trained sketch artist, capable of creating facial images from witness descriptions. One member served as a firefighter, lieutenant, and battalion chief for a large fire department, while also being a paramedic and EMS instructor. Another holds 23 years of experience as a 911 dispatcher and trainer for an area sheriff’s department, managing crises and sending resources for police, fire, and rescue services. Yet another Bellin College security officer was a regional director in the group health field, having significant administrative and leadership experience.
Many of the members also have previous tenure in the security field specifically, ranging from being a district manager in the private security sector to working contracted security in federal buildings, federally contracted manufacturing facilities, or metro transit authorities.
