#58 Lauren Drinkwater, Class of 2009
(P.O.S.T. Certificate)

The Public Safety Academy not only prepared me for the career of a lifetime, but it also molded me into the person I am proud to be. Every day of my life I wake up prepared for a new adventure.

Graduating from COD helped me land my dream job as a Palm Springs Police Officer. Since then, I have experienced more than I ever could have imagined. And thanks to the training and experience I received from COD I have been successful in my career.

Without COD, I couldn't say where I would be, maybe still dreaming of a better future. But now my dreams have become a reality.
