About Kevin Lindsey
Criminal Justice Career:
I began my career in the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) in 1987 as a Corrections
Officer. Shortly after being promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 1992, I realized
the value of education. As I only had the required 15 college credits to obtain the
position of Corrections Officer, I decided I needed to return to school and obtain
a college degree. While continuing to attend college, I continued to be promoted in
Corrections. I held numerous positions in corrections, but the majority of my career
was that of an Inspector, conducting administrative and criminal investigations on
prisoners and staff. Ultimately, I was promoted to Warden of the G. Robert Cotton
Correctional Facility, where I remained until my retirement in August of 2019.
Educational Career:
I began my teaching career in 2007 as an adjunct. I have taught many courses in Criminal
Justice, Psychology, Sociology, and Human Services. I have taught at several different
educational institutions, even becoming the program chair for Criminal Justice at
one college, for five years, until the position became a full-time position. I was
provided with this great opportunity to teach full-time at WCC beginning in Fall of
2019, therefore I retired from the MDOC, just prior to beginning at WCC.
Personal:
I have been married to my wife Miranda since 1999, who also has also retired from
the Michigan Department of Corrections where she was a Classification Director. We
have one daughter together, and I have two older sons from a previous marriage. We have two dogs.
Hobbies:
I enjoy hunting, fishing, cooking, and I also enjoy classic cars.
