 Stephen L. Bequette, an accomplished law enforcement professional with over 30 years of experience in the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, has been selected as USI’s assistant director of Security. Bequette began his career in law enforcement as an intern in the Sheriff’s Office shortly after graduating from Mater Dei High School in 1974 and held all merit ranks before he was appointed major by Sheriff Eric Williams in 2007. Before accepting the position at USI, he was the confinement division commander, overseeing the county jail and community corrections. He has a bachelor’s degree in law enforcement from University of Evansville and is a graduate of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and the FBI National Academy. He has taught as an adjunct instructor in criminal investigations and criminalistics at Ivy Tech Community College. Stephen Woodall, director of Security, said, “I know Steve will do an excellent job. His experience and education speak for themselves. He has experience in law enforcement and emergency preparedness that may be an issue in a campus environment.” Bequette is the grandfather of Jenna Whorl, a sophomore early childhood education major at USI.
