Wilson Talent Center (WTC) is celebrating the success of one of its Criminal Justice program graduates, Kobe Rochester, as he embarks on his law enforcement career. In a proud moment for both WTC and the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office, Rochester was officially sworn in as a Corrections Deputy.

At his ceremony, former instructor Noel Garcia Jr. had the privilege of pinning his badge, a symbolic passing of knowledge and encouragement as Kobe steps into his new role. His achievement reflects the dedication of WTC's Criminal Justice program in preparing students for careers in public safety and service.

Rochester’s journey is a testament to the impact of career and technical education in shaping future professionals. Congratulations, Kobe!
