Lucas is a graduate of Clay City Jr./Sr. High School and IUPUC with a bachelors degree in sociology and criminal justice. While at IUPUC, he worked as an IU cadet officer. He later graduated from the IU police academy.

After a short orientation period, Lucas will begin the police department’s field training program.
