Summary

In becoming a Police Sergeant, I have learned that everyone has their reality baseline; we, as first responders, are to meet them at that line and work together to foster a better community and space for all. I engage communities to assist with obtaining resources to help with various incidents and ensure the communities' safety. I work alongside other officers, units, and jurisdictions regarding protests, rallies, and demonstrations to ensure everyone's constitutional rights are respected and their freedom of speech is not hindered. While working with the citizens and visitors of this great city, I also guide, lead, and train many officers to give the best service possible to all.
