Episode 70: Realizing Your Impact

Between the Lines with Virtual Academy

With all of his focus toward working in the petroleum industry, Mark Candies entered law enforcement for a temporary employment opportunity in 1985. Thirty-six years later, he retired from the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office as a highly decorated captain who has seen and done it all.

On this week’s episode, Capt. Candies discusses his law enforcement career, his retirement career, and how he developed a love for training. Candies also tells the story of a fellow officer who survived an attack by a deranged man, and how his training commitment was validated when that officer credited his survival to what he had learned in Candies’s Officer Down class just a week before the incident.
