In a second-floor classroom inside the Carroll Building at Georgia Southern University, equipped with dimmed fluorescent lights and a projector, Statesboro Public Safety Director Wendell Turner holds a policing lecture class with about 25 students each Wednesday. Actively engaging his class, Turner uses real-world examples drawn from his more than 20 years in local law enforcement to reinforce course material and offers his students a unique perspective on what it means to be a public servant. Turner has worked as an instructor at the university for almost two years.
