Three Uniforms. One Mission.
“THE UNIFORM CHANGED. THE MISSION NEVER DID.”
"The Air Force taught me how to Serve. The San Antonio Police Department taught me the Responsibility that comes with Serving, and Teaching gave me the opportunity to pass those lessons on."
More than 40 years of service. Three careers. One continuing mission: to use those experiences to help veterans find their next purpose, help police officers become better officers, and help young people believe in what they can become.
"I'm not finished serving. I've just changed the way I do it."
U.S. AIR FORCE | SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT | EDUCATOR
United States AIR FORCE
1983–1992-Recalled After 9/11
At 19 years old, Kevin Coble left his hometown of Groton, Massachusetts, and joined the United States Air Force. Serving in Security Police at assignments in the United States and overseas laid the foundation for a lifetime built around service, responsibility and protecting others.
SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT
1993–2018 • 26 Years of Service
For 26 years, Kevin served the citizens of San Antonio as a police officer. From West Patrol Dogwatch to decades of frontline police work, the badge brought responsibility, difficult decisions, unforgettable experiences and lessons that could never be learned from a textbook.
LAW ENFORCEMENT EDUCATOR
2018–Present • Teacher • Adjunct Professor
After retiring from the San Antonio Police Department, Kevin traded the patrol car for the classroom. For eight years, he taught high school students using lessons drawn from decades of real-world experience—leadership, judgment, accountability, integrity, respect, and the responsibility that comes with serving others.
Today, Kevin continues that mission as an adjunct professor at San Antonio College and by mentoring the next generation.
SERVE • PROTECT • TEACH • INFLUENCE
Because Influence isn't another uniform. It's what came from wearing all three.
