Hello everyone! I started my educational pursuits at my local community college with an Associate's Degree in Police Science and then another in Fire Services. From there, I completed a BAS in Criminal Justice and Policy Studies from Guilford College, a Master's degree from Duke University and my PhD from The Union Institute and University. Aside from the traditional degrees, I also was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship in Professional Policing, which allowed me to work and research with European police agencies during 1994-1995. In 2001, I earned a post-doctoral graduate certificate from Duke University. In addition to my educational experiences, I served as a military police investigator with the U.S. Army and then as a police officer with the Durham Police Department, an internationally accredited agency. Part of my time in Durham was spent working in a consolidated police-fire public safety organization, which at that time was the largest such consolidated agency in the U.S. During my public service career, I also served several stints as Acting Police Chief and as Interim Director of the City-County 9-1-1 Center. I retired from policing as a Police Major after 29 years in the field. I am also a subject matter expert and grant evaluator for several grants funded through the Department of Homeland Security. In my current position with Capella University I am program chair of public safety.

Public Safety Program Description: Communities count on the expertise and foresight of public safety leaders to prevent crises, deal quickly and effectively with those that cannot be avoided, and return people's lives to normal as quickly as possible. Capella University master's and doctoral programs in Public Safety are designed for professionals in emergency management and public safety who are ready to move to a new level of knowledge and leadership.

I look forward to attending this conference, learning more about the EM community and meeting the experts in the field.

Charles
