Hello,

My name is Kevin Watts, and I am an adjunct instructor in the Department of Criminal Justice and Homeland Security, drawing on more than twenty-four years of law enforcement experience, including service as an Assistant Special Agent in Charge with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General. Over the course of my career, I conducted and supervised complex investigations involving financial fraud, insider threats, cyber enabled misconduct, workplace and civil rights violations, and broader organizational risk. I hold a Master of Science in Criminology, along with the CISSP and the Certified Fraud Examiner certifications. My teaching focuses on bridging real-world investigative practice with classroom learning, and I enjoy helping students build strong analytical skills, ethical awareness, and a deeper understanding of how modern investigations support accountability, fairness, and effective decision making in both public and private sectors.
