Carlos Cendejas

Fillmore,CA

Summary

I have an enormous wealth of experience in dealing with, and solving problems within our communities. I attribute those skills to the 14 years of patrol experience with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. Having worked in the Camarillo, Ojai communities, as well as the unincorporated areas of of Oxnard and Ventura, I have achieved a level of problem-solving skills that are exceptional.

My experience as a Courtroom Bailiff has also taught me to deal with unruly individuals and solve problems with little to no force to achieve a peaceful resolution.
