Colin Whittington has some unreal stories from his career in Loudoun County, VA. He now specializes in helping coppers find their second career when their police career is over. Colin is a former Deputy Sheriff, the Founder & CEO of Recruiting Heroes, and will soon be the published author of Beyond the Thin Blue Line.

Within his first year on patrol, he received two Life Saving Awards for two separate incidents. In 2019, Colin was named the Virginia Deputy Sheriff of the Year by the Virginia Sheriff's Assocation. Colin was then promoted to Sergeant and was charged with running the recruiting, background investigation, and hiring unit for the largest, full-service Sheriff's Office in Virginia.
