Denium Potts – An Inspiring Journey

Denium Potts first joined Pointters Community Initiatives’ (PCI) Academic Career Empowerment (ACE) program as a high school junior. During his time in the program, he participated in a business workshop led by officers from the Appleton Police Department, where he gained hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of law enforcement careers.

Before attending the workshop, Denium had never considered law enforcement as a career path. However, this experience opened his eyes to new possibilities, inspiring him to explore career opportunities in the field.

Today, Denium is pursuing a degree in Business Administration at St. Roberts College, using the skills and knowledge he gained from the ACE program to build a strong foundation for his future.
