Who are you and what’s your role at LCTI?

My name is Mr. Scott and I’m a Criminal Justice teacher at Lehigh Career & Technical Institute.

What’s your educational background?

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice from DeSales University and my Master of Science in criminal justice, with a specialization in criminology, from Saint Joseph’s University. I am currently enrolled in a vocational educators’ graduate program at Temple University. I completed my vocational I certification and am just about finished with my vocational II certification. Plus, I have only two more classes to obtain a master’s degree in education.

I am a certified BLS/CPR instructor. I am also certified to instruct MOAB, or  Methods of Aggressive Behavior.

What’s your professional background?

I have been in law enforcement for over 26 years. After retiring as a detective sergeant in the criminal investigations division with the City of Bethlehem Police Department in 2013, I held a position with Temple University as the coordinator for constable training in eastern Pennsylvania. I am in my tenth year teaching criminal justice at DeSales.

What’s your claim to fame?

I am an avid scuba diver and love to ride my Harley Davidson motorcycle.

What do you love about working at LCTI?

Sharing my experience and respect for the field to high school students fulfills a dream for me. I have now come full circle teaching high school students who aspire to be first responders.
