I believe I would serve as a valuable asset to the CARES Northwest team as the CARES Northwest Officer for many reasons. I have been a respected police officer in the City of Portland for over 21 years. During this time, I've gained a great deal of experience talking with and interviewing citizens, complainants, victims, informants, witnesses, and suspects in a wide variety of cases. I now have the necessary skills to connect with a diverse group of people and treat their unique cases with the empathy and followup that every person deserves.
In this role, it will be imperative that the CARES Northwest Officer is able to listen, empathize, document clearly, and follow through with all individuals involved in the case. I believe I am a great candidate for this role as I am dedicated to creating an environment of transparency and honesty that allows collaboration and can eventually lead to empowerment and healing for survivors. It is this report that will capture the voices of these victims and I believe my skills in the documentation and follow-through will contribute greatly to the progression of this investigation.
