Ryan Criss, Class of ’20

• B.A. in Criminal Justice, SUNY Plattsburgh
• Vermont State Trooper

“My plan in college was to pursue law enforcement at the state and federal levels. During my final semester in school, I was being processed by the Vermont State Police and successfully made it through the hiring process, where I began the academy in April 2021. Since then, I have successfully been on my own and currently work at the Shaftsbury Barracks in Bennington County, Vermont.

“Overall, SUNY Plattsburgh set me on the right path to where I am today in policing and have a promising career in the State of Vermont.”
