Career Strategies & Success Stories for our Nation's Police Officers, Deputy Sheriffs, & Federal Agents





Colin's journey on the Thin Blue Line started on June 4, 2015, as a patrol deputy with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office in northern Virginia. During his career Colin worked on Patrol, Community Policing, as the agency's Public Information Officer, and finally as the Sergeant of the agency's Recruiting Unit. He quickly discovered the sacrifices our First Responders and Veterans make on a daily basis. Within his first year on patrol, he received two Life Saving Awards for two separate incidents. In 2019, Colin was named the Virginia Deputy Sheriff of the Year by the Virginia Sheriff's Assocation.
Since leaving law enforcement in 2022, Colin has made it his life's mission to help other Police Officers, Deputy Sheriffs, Federal Agents, and Military Veterans with their transition to the private sector. He started his employment agency, Recruiting Heroes LLC to help America's Heroes find their dream careers. This summer, Colin was proud to publish his first book, Beyond the Thin Blue Line.
