Additional Information
I am very interested in advancing in the field that I absolutely love and truly have a interest in seeing it get back on track, because of the course that society has moved to. I do believe in foundational principles that never change even when society has changed. I believe there's a lack of Leadership across the nation in the area of Law Enforcement which is one of the reasons for such high level of mistrust with law enforcement. I have strong working knowledge of the Feliciana's both East and West and I know that my ability to communicate with my co workers and the public will be shown. The results of a better community communication and involvement will be the result. I have the life experiences and the knowledge of the job to be more than able to handle the daily responsibilities that it takes to have a successful Department. I know how to make decisions and stand behind the decision made that will keep the integrity of the department paramount.
