Honoring Heroes Award from MADD
I began my law enforcement career with the Chino Valley Police Department on December 12, 2019. After graduating from the academy, I completed the department's Field Training Program and was assigned as a solo-capable patrol officer, where I became highly driven and dependable. In 2023, I had the highest number of DUI arrest in the department. I take public safety very seriously. It was an honor to be chosen to receive the Honoring Heroes Award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in 2023. This dedication led me to become a School Resource Officer and I began that assignment in 2023-2024 school year.
