The following were my duties while a Deputy Sheriff included patrolling 400+ miles of rural county and enforcing the laws of the Commonwealth of VA. In 2013, I was promoted to Corporal and assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division working cases that included violent crimes, property crimes, sexual assaults and white-collar crimes. In 2015, I was sworn in as a Special Officer with the Virginia State Police and assigned to the Twin County Regional Drug Task Force with the role of investigating long term and complex drug trafficking cases. I was also sworn in and assigned to the Regional High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force. To accomplish my duties as a TFO, I coordinated/supervised with multiple agencies, including other police departments, sheriff offices, state police, federal partners, US Attorney's Office, Commonwealth Attorney Office, United States Secret Service, Federal and State Probation and agencies in the surrounding states of West Virginia and North Carolina on large scale armed narcotic trafficker's conspiracy cases.This requires long hours of investigative work collecting and processing evidence while maintaining chain of custody, conducting surveillance, handling confidential informants, interviews and briefs or proffers of suspects, safe and successful arrests of defendants, court proceedings and seizures. I was required to make high-stress decisions,motivate other law enforcement personnel and be held accountable for their operational conduct and procedures. I led and organized warrant service operations that spanned and included several jurisdictions that resulted in the arrest of multiple known violent criminals. I adopted cases from local departments in my area and worked with their respective case agents to grow the case and see to the successful prosecution of the defendants in court. Another aspect of my experience is serving on the Grayson County Sheriff Emergency Response Team since 2013, which is a tactical operations unit tasked with serving high risk warrants and responding to critical incidents such as active shooters and hostage or barricaded person's situations. I served as a team commander and I supervised eight (8) other special operators and saw to their training, assignments and schedules. This job required me to make judgment calls, putting lives in harm's way and protecting the safety of the public. I managed to maintain an ever-changing schedule with my wide range of responsibilities that could include in a day, testifying in court in the morning, interviewing a suspect mid-day, organizing an operational plan and assigning tactical personnel for the service in the afternoon and doing a controlled purchase of narcotics at night, while still maintaining contact with other agencies planning takedowns for the next day and prosecutors on a case coming up at the end of the week.
