I have 25 - years of law enforcement experience as a State of Georgia POST certified Officer. During my career, I've had the opportunity to participate in multiple areas of criminal enforcement. I've been a first responder as a patrol officer, responsible for calls for service, S.W.A.T. team member, and criminal investigator specializing in gang and drug investigation. For the last 13 - years I've been a supervisor. I spent 5 - years as a group supervisor in a Drug Task Force supervising drug agents, 4 years supervising patrol officers, and 3 - year in the training division. I also completed my bachelor's degree while working full-time and going to school at night and weekends. While starting our new department police academy as Assistant Director, I was attending Columbus State University - Command College and graduated with my master's degree in Public Safety Administration in 2025.
