Work History

Police Corporal

City Of Galax Police Department
10.2016 - Current

As a Police Corporal I respond to calls and work in a highly stressful environment. I am trained to deal with the public in any situation I am presented with. I have received training in how to communicate with the public. I am frequently tasked with having to imply de-escalation techniques.


Many of the cases I deal with are time sensitive and must be performed at haste. I have been trained to perform tasks in a timely manner even in stressful situations.


As a Corporal I work in a supervisory role and in many circumstances must provide leadership. I have training and certifications in many Criminal Justice fields. I investigate many crimes and often times work in conjunction with other agencies to solve them.


I am tasked with mitigating risks by accurately analyzing and evaluating criminal complaints, citations and search warrants while processing crime scenes for Commonwealth attorney and magistrate office case preparation.
