My history at Kean started in 2003​.​ I was an undergraduate​.​
I majored in criminal justice. My minor was psychology.
I was given the opportunity to work as a
student worker within the criminal justice department. It helped me to apply myself
in actual real-world practice. 
I knew I wanted to get into law enforcement
during my internship with the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security.
The main thing that was told to me was to focus on preparation for the unknown.
This was around the time with Hurricane Sandy, so a lot of the operations were really
focused on the unforeseen circumstances.
Kean University has helped me to develop
that foundation, taking that extra step in order to get the task done.
My name is Clarence Turner, I’m a trooper with the New Jersey State Police,
and I am an alumnus of Kean University.
