I have developed and managed confidential informants, drafted and obtained numerous types of search warrants, arrest warrants and subpoenas. I have interviewed suspects and witnesses, photographed and processed crime scenes, collected evidence and submitted said evidence to forensic laboratories.

I utilized confidential informants and investigated crimes related to narcotics distribution, firearms trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking, human smuggling, murder, aggravated robbery, burglary, assault, theft, fraud and criminal gang activity. I drafted and obtained state search warrants for residences, vehicles, electronic devices, phone records, banking information, body cavity, trackers, cellular telephone companies, and social media. I drafted and obtained state subpoenas for banking information, rental vehicles, and cellular telephone subscriber and records. I initiated and drafted seizure processes for asset forfeiture of targeted property. I drafted and obtained misdemeanor and felony state arrest warrants and planned and executed numerous covert and overt surveillance operations. I interviewed suspects, witnesses, and victims of violent crimes and gathered evidence, prepared criminal cases, and provided state and federal court testimony resulting in successful prosecutions. I worked with partner law enforcement agencies across the United States to complete investigations which led to successful apprehension and prosecution of suspects. I conducted stationary and mobile surveillance and utilized covert recording equipment. I reviewed and drafted operations plans, ranging from investigative strategies to tactical operations for criminal investigations. I analyzed data and drafted intelligence reports which were utilized to further state and federal criminal investigations. I have conducted narcotics awareness presentations in public settings and during public outreach events.

I interviewed suspects and witnesses, including victims of domestic violence. I conducted accident investigations and crime scene investigations, while collecting physical evidence, fingerprints and photographing crime scenes. I have written and submitted investigative reports to state prosecutors after filing misdemeanor or felony state charges. I served misdemeanor and felony state arrest warrants and conducted searches of houses, vehicles, people, and cellular telephones for evidence related to an investigation through either consent or probable cause.
