Charlie Brown
Charlie Brown knew he wanted to attend UCF since he went to baseball camps as a child on campus. In 1989, Brown received his bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from UCF. He began working for the Ocoee Police Department in 1992. Brown returned to UCF in 2005 to earn the Police Leadership certificate and decided to pursue his master’s degree in the Criminal Justice MS program. Coming back to earn his master’s degree reminded Brown why he loves UCF. “The layout of the campus, facilities, and the comfortable surroundings are a great environment for learning and socializing,” he says.
Brown also liked how the Criminal Justice program allowed him to study and research further within the field of law enforcement. “The professors focused on real-life subject matter, which enhanced my career as a police officer,” he shares. “In some cases, I was able to use my research to assist with policy change at my agency.” He graduated from the program in 2007. On August 18, 2008, Brown was promoted and sworn in as the Chief of Police for the City of Ocoee.
