WINSLOW — When Austin Ireland was senior at Winslow High School, he had trouble deciding where to attend college. That year he got the opportunity to go on some ride-alongs with local police departments, and quickly realized that law enforcement was his passion.
With the help of his family, Ireland decided to attend Thomas College the following year for its criminal justice program and he said it was one of the best decisions he’s ever made. Ireland graduated from Thomas May 13 with a degree in criminal justice.
“Since the very beginning, Thomas College was a great fit for me, and helped me every step of the way to achieve my personal and professional goals,” he said. “The faculty and friends I made at Thomas made my four years there not just enjoyable and exciting, but some of the best years that I know I’ll cherish forever.
“I’m beyond excited to start a new chapter in my life and begin my career in law enforcement. I am truly thankful I had the opportunity to go to Thomas College. Being a Law Enforcement Officer is something that I’ve wanted to do and Thomas College has helped me achieve that goal.”
