Darwin Villavicencio, CEO of DVPSTA
Above all, Darwin finds his greatest reward in educating and training others. He views every training session not only as instruction, but as an opportunity to inspire growth, confidence, professionalism, and integrity in those he teaches.

Darwin believes true leadership in law enforcement and the fire service begins with humility and a willingness to evolve. To him, being an exceptional instructor means remaining a lifelong student — constantly seeking new knowledge, refining one’s skills, and staying connected to the ever-changing challenges and responsibilities of public safety.
