Fateful Trip - Lifelong Mentors

Evansville Police Chief Bolin Bolin was David’s Chaperone on that trip and he has continued to mentor him since. His Principal Dale Naylor selected David as the Student of the Year when he graduated 8th Grade at McGary.

Mr. Naylor is also a Reserve Deputy in Warrick County and he has also continued to mentor David along with Evansville Police Assistant Chief Philip Smith, Sgt Anna Gray, Officer Taylor Merriss, and retired Sergeant Jason Cullum.

This week, David won the very prestigious Youth Resources of Southwestern Indiana, Youth of the Year Award. But he isn't stopping there. David is hopeful to have a career in law enforcement after he graduates from Harrison High School this year.
