Summary
I am presently a 24-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department. I currently hold two positions, one I serve as a lead investigator on cases involving minors who are victims of sexual abuse, and I am also a current Union Steward for the Detroit Police Officers' Association members. In this role, I am a hardworking professional bringing many years of experience in sitting at the collective bargaining table to resolve conflicts and mediate discussions. Excellent oral and written communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Looking to apply knowledge and abilities to a challenging new role.
