Summary
As a dedicated law enforcement professional with a strong foundation in community and public safety, I began as a security guard at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital. I was hired by the Havre Police Department in July of 2021. I completed all the required training at Montana Law Enforcement Academy including a post 14-week field training program with the Havre Police Department. I have since excelled in various law enforcement techniques, use of force situations, and felony/misdemeanor investigations. I have been recognized by my Sergeants for my proactive approach in DUI cases, Felony Strangulation cases, and Traffic enforcement including evolving vehicle pursuits and effective management of high-pressure situations. I am committed to ongoing professional development, certified training, and community safety initiatives. I feel that I can be a great addition to your department and community with an opportunity to serve.
