Summary
I have been in law enforcement for 20 years. During these 20 years, I have experienced a lot with the various people I have come in contact with, and the various situations I have been in. Being in law enforcement, you always have to stay educated. Every year, you have to have 12 credits toward your education. In 2012, I went to Jacksonville State University, located in Anniston, AL, where I became a state-certified investigator. I have also taken classes in being a supervisor. I have also been to Hostage Negotiator School. While at the Clarke County Sheriff's Department, I am the AISO of the department. Being the AISO, I have to make sure that all the Deputies keep up their education, and I am also over the NCIC of the department, where I have to put on training classes to go over the safety procedures of the NCIC.
