Summary

With my recent experience from Anoka County Sheriffs Office as a Detention Deputy to now Community Service Officer with City of Crystal and with received knowledge so far in school, has given me the tools to excel forward into my career passion of Law Enforcement. I believe that I am equipped with strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn and excellent communication skills to achieve the positive results the City of Crystal is looking for.
