Hunting and Fishing in Wyoming
David Florence
Summary
I am currently a deputy sheriff with the Converse County Detention Center. I have 21 years of experience as a detention deputy, field training officer, instructor for the Wyoming Law Enforcement Academy teaching classification of inmates. Prior to coming to Converse County as a deputy sheriff I worked for the Natrona County Sheriff’s Office as a detention corporal in charge of the transportation and classification team. In 2003 I took over as the lead advisor and treasurer of the Natrona County Sheriff Cadet Program which became a 501c3 non-profit organization in 2002. I successfully learned how to approve and manage funds coming and going through the cadet program. I have done fund raising events and charity work for the past twenty years through non-profit and profit organizations. In 2015 I purchased Bid’s Place and ran the restaurant with every day operations of paying bills, taxes, and payroll. I continued with this adventure until 2020 when I was forced to close due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. During 2015-2020 Master Carpet Clean and Bid’s Place started and completed several charity events to help those in need during the holidays. Committed job seeker with a history of meeting company needs with consistent and organized practices. Skilled in working under pressure and adapting to new situations and challenges to best enhance the organizational brand.
