Student Spotlight: Jake Wilson
Why I Chose Criminal Justice 🏛️

Criminal Justice felt like a natural fit for me. I’ve served as a Kentucky State Trooper for 18 years, meaning I’ve spent nearly half of my life working within the system. Pursuing this degree is simply an extension of the career and experience I already have.

Favorite Classes 📚

My favorite classes so far have been Sociology and New Testament. I’m especially drawn to the psychological and sociological side of policing—understanding why people respond the way they do. As a Detective since 2014, I conduct many interviews, and recognizing patterns in human behavior is a huge asset in that role.

Future Goals 🎓

After retiring from the Kentucky State Police, I hope to teach criminal justice courses. I believe combining real-world experience with academic learning can be incredibly valuable for students preparing to enter the field.

The Challenge ⚖️

The hardest part of being a Criminal Justice student isn’t the coursework—it’s balancing everything. As a non-traditional student, I juggle a full-time career, a wife of nearly 20 years, three kids (17, 12, and 6), leadership in children’s ministry at Cumberland Freewill Baptist Church, and family sports schedules. Even so, I’ve truly enjoyed most of the classes I’ve taken.

Textbook vs. Reality 🚓

Studying Criminal Justice hasn’t drastically changed how I view the system. Textbooks are helpful, but real understanding comes from experience. The criminal justice system varies not only by state, but even by county. Working in the Electronic Crime Branch and traveling across Kentucky for Internet Crimes Against Children cases has shown me how different each county operates—not wrong, just different. That gap between theory and practice exists in every career.
