Colonel Derek Johnson (U.S. Army, Retired)

A Leader Forged in Service

Colonel (U.S. Army Retired) Derek Johnson brings decades of distinguished military and law enforcement leadership to Victory Regional Public Safety Training & Readiness Center. His career spans combat deployments, special operations advisory roles, and senior command positions.

Under Colonel Johnson's vision, Victory was conceived not simply as a training facility, but as a strategic readiness platform — one that brings together local, state, federal, and military partners under a single mission: preparing public safety professionals for every threat they may face.

His commitment to excellence, accountability, and partnership has positioned Victory as a model for regional cooperation and training innovation across the Southeast.

“We don't train people to pass a test. We train them for the worst day of someone else's life.”
