\"AKAgradsmile\"<\/a>Trinity Women achieve much in so many different places!\u00a0 Congratulations are in order to Ariel Al-Warith, recently sworn-in as a member of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington!<\/p>\n

Ariel’s mom Julia Rones provided this statement:<\/p>\n

“In December of 2014, Ariel K. Al-Warith <\/strong>took a leave of absence from criminal justice studies at Trinity Washington University’s School of Arts and Sciences. Ariel was pursuing her BA under\u00a0a Trinity President’s Leadership Scholarship. Ariel left\u00a0to pursue her dream of becoming a law enforcement officer with the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“Ariel was sworn in as an MPD police officer on August 21, 2015. She\u00a0will be stationed in Police District 1 in Southwest Washington.\u00a0 Ariel\u00a0was the\u00a0sole, certified\u00a0EMT, and one of six Washingtonians out of twenty-two police recruits\u00a0in her\u00a0police academy graduating class.\u00a0 She says that her Trinity courses in cultural, and religious awareness, communications, and criminal justice, as well as, her sportsmanship training and physical fitness from her zealous participation in Trinity varsity sports,\u00a0helped immensely.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“Ariel says, “Trinity has given me a good start and has prepared me well for my law enforcement career.” \u00a0Trinity Washington University Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice (program chair), Thomas Mostowy <\/a>approved Ariel’s\u00a0two-month summer course internship with the US District of Columbia Probation Office led by Gennine A. Hagar, Chief United States Probation Officer.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“Ariel says whether she is on the job or off, she bears a duty to serve and protect the public.\u00a0 She says she intends to\u00a0complete her\u00a0 degree in\u00a0criminal justice at Trinity, and vows to make her Trinity family proud.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Trinity is so proud of Ariel for choosing to serve her city and nation as a police officer.\u00a0 We pray for her safety and look forward to welcoming her back to the Criminal Justice program once she gets settled in her new duties.<\/p>\n
