My name is Officer David Gutierrez, I am 46 years old and have been serving the City Of Hollywood Park for over 18 years now.  I started back in the year of 2005 as a patrolman working dogwatch.  My job was patrolling the district and doing crime prevention of the overnight businesses.  

As the years went by I start working daylight hours and build a strong relationship with my community and residents.  I quickly understood my role as an officer of the law by protecting and serving.  Once I found my niche, I learned this job was for me.  I learned that dealing with individuals who were diagnosed with mental health disorders was my go to.  I became a Mental Health Officer back in 2017 and learned the ways of how to de-escalate disturbances with individuals who were diagnose with mental health.  

Now, I have 18 years of service and look back at all the people's lives I have changed just because I listen and heard their voice.  Heres to another 18 years of my life as a Law Enforcement Officer with new opportunities.
