Activities
I love the game of basketball. I was fortunate enough to play throughout high school and some of college. I was also a neighborhood coordinating officer in the 83rd Precinct. With that position I have organized community events with my partner at the time. In the Brooklyn North CRT unit, we worked in a fast paced environment. The faced paced environment demanded that the unit's team work be cohesive and well maintained. We led all CRT teams in the city with gun arrests. I was involved with over 15 gun arrests where either my partners or I were the arresting officer.
