Santa Ana College Alumni Hall of Fame

Deputy Chief Craig Hunter honored

Craig Hunter began his career in law enforcement by serving as a Campus Police Safety Officer at Santa Ana College, where he was pursuing an AA degree in Criminal Justice. During this time he also served as a Garden Grove police reserve officer.  

Chief Hunter remembers, “I had been a Police Explorer in the Santa Ana Police Department for three years before I graduated from Santa Ana High School in 1976, and I knew that I wanted a career in law enforcement. All Santa Ana College security guards were sent to the Orange County Sheriff’s Reserve Officer’s Academy. That training also qualified me to be a Garden Grove police reserve officer.”
