Today is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and we would like to extend a special thank you to our Law Enforcement instructor, James McClellan.
Mr. McClellan began his law enforcement career in 2001 as a Military Police Officer, stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with the 16th Military Police Brigade Airborne. During his service, he deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq and served in numerous roles, including Investigations, Patrol Supervisor, Desk Sergeant, Investigations Team Chief, Squad Leader, Team Leader, and Internal Affairs Investigator.
Following his military service, Mr. McClellan continued his career in civilian law enforcement as a Summerville Police Officer, where he served as a Field Training Officer, Field Training Officer Manager, Shift Supervisor, and K9 Handler. He later joined the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office as a K9 Supervisor and currently serves part-time as a K9 Officer in Holly Hill, South Carolina.
We are grateful for his dedication, service, and commitment to training the next generation of law enforcement professionals.

Our Diesel Engine Technology instructor, Robert Sineath, coordinated with SCDNR to bring their Boating Virtual Trainer to campus this week. Mr. Sineath is a dedicated SCDNR Volunteer Hunting & Boating Safety Education instructor and the Region 4 Instructor of the Year.
The simulator features a center-console boat mounted inside a trailer and delivers an immersive virtual boating experience. Students can safely practice essential skills such as docking, mooring, pivot turns, and more—all on a virtual waterway, free from real-world hazards.
Ashley Ridge student, Brantley Green, did a great job “docking” the boat!
