228 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine LAW AND LAW ENFORCEMENT Randolph A. King always desired to delve into the field of law enforcement following inspiration from his uncle, who was a probation officer in New York. After graduating from high school in 1988, Mr. King enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served in Operation Desert Storm. Departing from the military in 1992, he was also inspired by his father, who worked at the Pender County Sheriff’s Office for numerous years. Deriving motivation from his father, Mr. King graduated from Brunswick Community College with a Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) certification in 2000. Mr. King has served the Pender County Sheriff’s Office for more than 20 years. Recognized as a jail administrator since 2019, he previously served the sheriff’s office in myriad roles, such as uniform patrol, child support deputy, senior patrol sergeant, narcotics detective, lieutenant in the Civil Division, lead bailiff and jail division commander. Notably, Mr. King established one of the two K9 units at the sheriff’s office. For his success, he earned the 2019 Leadership Award for the Detention Office’s Certification Course, as well as a number of decorations from the U.S. Marine Corps.

Mr. Lawrence started the SCN Sex Offender Registry, writing the code and policies. He has also been ED of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe and guardian ad litem (GAL) for both the Wyandotte Nation and Miami Nation Tribal Courts. Advocating for disadvantaged children as GAL is a far cry from his first client, an inmate convicted of murder. Mr. Lawrence was inspired by his own upbringing to provide aid to Native American youth; he left his troubled home at age 15 with $10 and the clothes on his back. Mr. Lawrence was accepted into the American Indian Graduate Center Program and argued his brief before the Navajo Supreme Court, then attended Washburn University School of Law in 1995, where he received a Presidential Scholarship and his JD. He is a past vice president of the Native American Law Students Association and the Christian Legal Society, as well as a former youth pastor.
