With over 15 years of experience in both federal and local law enforcement, I have dedicated my career to protecting communities and ensuring public safety. Throughout my journey, I have gained extensive experience in various aspects of law enforcement, from frontline patrol operations to specialized crime prevention initiatives. My work has allowed me to develop a well-rounded skill set that combines enforcement, investigation, and proactive crime prevention strategies.
Holding a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice has provided me with a strong academic foundation, enhancing my ability to analyze crime trends, understand legal frameworks, and apply best practices in policing. This education has been instrumental in shaping my approach to law enforcement, allowing me to see beyond immediate incidents and focus on long-term solutions that address the root causes of crime.
In addition to my formal education, I am certified as a Crime Prevention Practitioner by the Florida Attorney General’s Office. This certification reflects my commitment to proactive law enforcement, emphasizing strategies that deter crime before it happens. I have worked closely with communities, businesses, and organizations to implement safety initiatives, conduct security assessments, and educate the public on crime prevention techniques. By fostering strong relationships between law enforcement and the community, I have been able to contribute to a safer environment while strengthening public trust.
For over two years, I served as a School Resource Officer (SRO), a role that required a unique blend of law enforcement, mentorship, and crisis intervention. As an SRO, I worked closely with students, faculty, and parents to create a secure learning environment. Beyond enforcing laws, I focused on building positive relationships with students, providing guidance, and addressing safety concerns within the school. This experience reinforced my belief in the importance of community engagement and early intervention in crime prevention.
Additionally, I am certified as an Incident Containment Team Operator, a role that has prepared me for high-risk situations requiring rapid response and containment strategies. This specialized training has equipped me with the skills to handle critical incidents efficiently and effectively, ensuring the safety of civilians and fellow officers in dynamic and potentially dangerous environments.
Throughout my career, I have remained committed to professional growth and adapting to the evolving challenges of law enforcement. My combined experience in federal and local policing, crime prevention, school safety, and critical incident response has given me a unique perspective on public safety. I take pride in my role as a law enforcement professional and remain dedicated to making a lasting impact in the communities I serve.
