Distinguished Alumni Award
Carl W. Caulk
At the October 1, 2021 Board meeting, the joint Department of Criminal Justice and Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB) Distinguished Alumni Award was given to Mr. Carl Caulk (’89 ‘17) by Mr. Art Beeler (CJAB Chair, pictured right). Carl Caulk graduated from East Carolina University with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice in 1989, and a master’s degree in criminal justice in 2017. While pursuing his master’s degree, he also completed graduate certificates in security studies and criminal justice education.
He had a distinguished 27-year professional career with the United States Marshals Service, culminating in his appointment as Assistant Director. Upon retirement, he formed Integritas Creative Solutions, a security consulting company that provides consultation, training, and instruction to public and private entities in the areas of security, law enforcement, compliance, ethics, organizational management, investigations, threat mitigation, risk assessment, protective operations, and protective intelligence.
A longtime supporter of the department and long-standing member of the department Advisory Board, Caulk is noted for his commitment to the Department of Criminal Justice and East Carolina University. An Advisory Board colleague called his enthusiasm for the program and its students “infectious” and described him as “creative and energetic with a constant eye on continuous improvement for the department and the law enforcement community as a whole.”
Jack Thomas Harrigan
At the October 25, 2019 Board meeting, the joint Department of Criminal Justice and Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB) Inaugural Distinguished Alumni Award was given posthumously to Mr. Jack Thomas Harrigan (’74). The award was received by his son Neal Harrigan pictured with Mr. Carl Caulk, Chair CJAB (right) and Dr. William Bloss, Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice (left). Tom Harrigan was a Marine and Viet Nam veteran who graduated from East Carolina University with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice in 1974. He had a distinguished professional career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and upon retirement, joined the Carteret Community College criminal justice faculty until his premature death. A Carteret College colleague wrote “Tom Harrigan was a good man, consummate professional, and a credit to the Criminal Justice Department at East Carolina University.”
