INSTRUCTORS

MATTHEW BOONE

BOONE GROVE HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. Boone has his Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. He worked for the Porter County Sheriff’s Office for 14 ½ years. He worked half of his career on patrol where he learned basic patrol operations and ultimately supervised as a Sergeant. Mr. Boone worked the other half of his career in the detective bureau. During this time, he successfully investigated all different kinds of crimes from theft to murder leading to hundreds of convictions. Mr. Boone worked as a part time school resource officer for the Porter Township School Corporation for 13 years. During this time, he helped implement new safety procedures for the school and worked with the students and staff to ensure a safe learning environment and bridge the gap between police and the community. He has always had a passion for working with youth and is following in his mother and father’s footsteps by teaching. When not working he enjoys spending time with his wife, son, daughter, and dogs. Family is the most important thing to me and I strive to set that example for other staff and students. I hope to give students a real world understanding of law enforcement and the decisions they have to make on a daily basis.
