I did well in high school both socially and in the classroom. I've always wanted to go into law enforcement and become a police officer. When I graduated from high school I decided to go Briarwood College and they accepted me right away.

At Briarwood I received the preparation needed to launch my career. I also appreciated the fact that at Briarwood you're known by name, not as a number. It's a friendly, caring place where faculty and staff go out of their way to help.

Today I'm doing what I've always wanted do - working as a police officer in my hometown at the Greenwich, CT Police Department. I am Robert Smurlo. I AM BRIARWOOD.
