Summary
I have approximately 16 years of experience working with State and County inmates. I have also worked alongside California Department Corrections Rehabilitation's K-9 Unit and Delano Police's K-9 Unit in large-scale operations where large quantities of narcotics were located and recovered.
For the past 13 years, I have served as a Detentions Deputy, overseeing operations at all four facilities in Lerdo and the Central Receiving Facility. My current roles include being a Detentions Training Officer, a member of the Recruitment Team, and part of Lerdo's Investigation Unit.
I laid the foundation for the Detentions Canine Handler program by researching and volunteering on my free time to find an agency that could assist us in creating a successful Detection K-9 program. If given the opportunity as a Lerdo Canine Handler, I will use my trainings and experiences into building this program to be successful and a long running asset to the Kern County Sheriff's Office. I am passionate about working along side my canine partner and grow together in knowledge and having many successful operations.
