Steve Geppi Coordinator of the Criminal Justice program

By Diana Scott

Steve Geppi has joined the faculty as the coordinator of the Criminal Justice program. He will oversee adjunct faculty, develop the curriculum, market the program to police departments, and teach. This fall he is teaching Introduction to the Criminal Justice System and Criminology.

"I've never had so much fun as I have had in the short time I have been at Carroll," says Mr. Geppi. "I am sharing 24 years of experience in the Maryland State Police with students who really want to learn. Many have expressed desires to become criminal profilers and forensic scientists as well as traditional law enforcement officers."

His goal is to develop the program so that when people think of enrolling in a criminal justice program, they'll think of Carroll.

Mr. Geppi retired in 1997 with the rank of major after 24 years with the Maryland State Police. His career included time as a road patrol trooper, patrol and shift supervisor, instructor, and chief executive officer for daily operations. He retired as commander of the South West Central Region of the Bureau of Drug and Criminal Enforcement, that covers 13 counties plus Baltimore City.

He earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Baltimore and an M.A. from Towson University. He resides in Finksburg.
