Sheriff Joe Powell

My program, entitled; "Sheriff Joe's C.U.F.F.S." begins with a story about a young boy (me) who was guaranteed he would never fulfill his dreams, and leads in to a work/life balance program that helps the attendees RESET their attitudes both at home and at work!

I have served in almost every division of law enforcement from the mid 90's to present. (Defying the obstacles that assured my dream of serving would be next to impossible) My career includes numerous years as Chief of Police and one term as an elected County Sheriff in the great State of Texas. I am recognized as a Senior-level Chief of Police from beautiful Northwest Arkansas. I also served as Chief of Police in Southwest Missouri, and the Panhandle of Texas! I possess three degrees; one in Criminal Justice, a Bachelor in Criminal justice Management and Administration, and a Master of Public Administration. I am a graduate of the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas where I studied at Sam Houston State University, Texas Womans' University, and Texas A & M. I'm a trilogy recipient of FBI's Law Enforcement Executive Development Association, and also maintain a Master Peace Officer Certification in the State of Texas and Senior in the State of Arkansas. I am a certified law enforcement instructor for both states, and a licensed Concealed Carry Instructor for the State of Texas. I hold in excess of 100 awards, certifications, and commendations. I have spoken at numerous venues where people have left inspired, lifted up, encouraged, less-stressed, motivated, and most of all, with a smile on their face, some with sore cheek bones from laughter at my true-life stories I've collected over my years on the street. Now, I bring my experiences, knowledge, and wit to you and your group/s, employee's, clients, clubs, conferences, graduations, etc.
