About Me	Deus pascit corvos. My father, Charles Paul Corbin, was serving as a Missouri State Trooper stationed at Carthage, MO when he was killed in the line of duty when I was 15 months old. My mother Ruby, my sister Betty and I moved to Cape Girardeau, MO to live with my grandmother Sarah, when I was two. I grew up in Cape attending May Green and Washington grade schools, Cape Central Jr. High and Cape Central High School. Three Days after graduation from high school, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps for 4 years. My initial assignment, after boot camp in San Diego, was with the Marine Air Detachment at the Naval Air Station in Memphis, TN only 179 miles from home. While home on leave, I met and later married Pat Sadler from Cape. We had two wonderful sons, Rockne Paul ('63) and Clay Everett ('68). Pat and I divorced in '79 and I married my present wife, Nancy Welch, in '80. After the Corps I returned to Cape and went to SEMO University. In 1966 I joined the Missouri State Highway Patrol with service in Troop C (St. Louis County), Troop G (Willow Springs) and GHQ (Jefferson City). My MSHP career included being Director of the Training Division, Director of the Traffic Division and Deputy Commander of the Field Operations Bureau. While a member of the Patrol, I was afforded the opportunity to continue my formal education at; Meramec Community College, Central MO State University, University of MO at St. Louis, University of Louisville, Lincoln University, Northwestern University and the United States Army's Command and Staff College. Upon retiring from MO Hwy Patrol in 1994, I became Chief of the Nevada Highway Patrol and subsequently the Director of the Nevada Governor's Federal Highway Safety Program working out of Carson City, NV. In 1998, I returned to MO to become Chief of the St. Charles, MO Police Department. Retiring from the Police Department in 2003, I became Chairman of the Criminal Justice Division of Sanford-Brown College - St. Charles Campus 2003-2004. I moved to Lindenwood University starting the fall semester of 2004 to teach and serve as the Criminal Justice Program Manager. My public service career also included 23 great years with the MO Army National Guard. In the Guard, I was fortunate enough to have competed on the MO National Guard Pistol/Rifle Team for almost 15 years winning the Governor's 20 Award, National Guard Bureau Chief's 50 Medal and the US Army's Gold Distinguished Pistol...(read more)
