Summary

I bring a comprehensive portfolio of advanced law enforcement, supervisory, and specialized technical skills developed over two decades of service. My training spans critical operational disciplines, instructor‑level certifications, and leadership development essential for modern public safety organizations. This includes crisis intervention, dignitary protection, physical security, and field training leadership, supported by extensive instructor coursework in defensive tactics, firearms, OC deployment, and use‑of‑force instruction. I have completed multiple 40‑hour programs in investigations, evidence processing, school resource operations, instructor development, and cybercrime, along with specialized training in mobile field force operations, NIBRS reporting, and acting‑in‑charge supervisory duties. These capabilities combined with foundational academy training and advanced Northwestern University leadership education equip me to lead, train, and support high‑performing teams across all areas of campus safety and law enforcement operations.
