Darin would like to earn his bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice Administration/Management through the Paying it Forward® Scholarship. “This opportunity came at the perfect time as I was researching educational opportunities to advance my career and personal development. I currently serve as a lieutenant with a rural police department,” he explains. Darin has 23 officers in his chain of command and would like to eventually progress into the ranks of police administration as Chief of Police. “This educational opportunity will provide me with the additional tools I need to ensure continuing success for myself — and by extension, my fellow officers and staff. I have a great passion for public safety and for empowering those around me to produce effective results and, in turn, have a fulfilling career.” More than 16 years ago, Darin earned his associate degree. He got busy with his career and family, and finishing a bachelor’s degree became a distant idea. Darin will now get a chance to finish that degree, thanks to Douglas for paying it forward.
