New York, NY - From competing on the pitch to contributing on the sidelines,
Arthur Langlet '26 made the most of his time as a member of the John Jay College men's soccer program. Now, just months after graduating, Langlet has taken the next step in a journey years in the making, beginning his professional career with the United States Secret Service.
Langlet graduated from John Jay in June 2026 while navigating the hiring process with multiple federal law enforcement agencies. Without an official offer immediately following graduation, he returned home for the summer, spending time with childhood friends and returning to officiating soccer.
Then came the call he had been working toward. A few months after graduation, Langlet received the opportunity to officially begin his career with the U.S. Secret Service.
"This was a dream come true, showing that everything I had worked so hard for while at John Jay had paid off," Langlet said. "Everything I have done since high school has been leading me to this point."
Langlet's John Jay experience extended well beyond the classroom. After playing for the Bloodhounds men's soccer team, he transitioned into a role on the coaching staff, allowing him to remain connected to the program while developing skills that have carried over into his professional career.
"As a Bloodhound, I am proud of my academic achievements, but also of what I was able to give back to others while being part of athletics," Langlet said. "Transitioning from playing for the men's soccer team to being a member of the coaching staff was very rewarding. It gave me the chance to work on my leadership and organizational skills. Gaining experience and perspective on what it takes to run a program is invaluable to my growth as a professional."
For current John Jay students interested in following a similar path into law enforcement, Langlet encourages them to utilize the resources and relationships available to them throughout their college careers.
"The biggest piece of advice I would give to anyone currently at John Jay trying to get a job in law enforcement is to take full advantage of what John Jay offers: the connections your professors have, internship opportunities and academic advancement opportunities."
