Noah expressed her appreciation for what she described as “an extremely prestigious honor” in a career she thoroughly enjoys.
“I am lucky to be surrounded by a tremendous group of individuals that I work with every day,” she said. “Those individuals come together as a team to accomplish the goal of contributing to a safer state for the citizens of Ohio.”
The award is based upon such criteria as outstanding service, dedication, leadership abilities and professionalism,
The Clinton County native originally came to the College with an idea of studying political science and pre-law. However, she became fascinated with law enforcement and followed her degree at WC with a master’s degree in criminal justice from Wright State University.
Noah said the State Patrol appealed to her as a statewide agency with numerous career opportunities beyond the most visible area of patrolling Ohio’s highways. She joined in late 2012.
“I wanted to pursue a career that would allow me to be involved in the community and have exposure to experiencing something different on a daily basis,” she said.
Much of her time — up to 50,000 miles a year — is spent behind the wheel of her Dodge Charger cruiser equipped with a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, which generates 370 horsepower.
“This is such a positive experience,” she said. “Being able to patrol in the same community that provided me with an incredible educational experience and giving back by helping protect and serve the community.”
