Summary

I am a Law Enforcement Professional with almost continuous service since June of 1994. The only exception was a 10 month break in 2021 when I retired from APERS and worked as a RV Transport contractor and medical deliver driver in June 2024, I have worked full time in county and municipal law enforcement. My experience involves patrol operations, supervision, internal affairs, investigations, critical incident management and tiered interaction with the public. Though out my career in the public sector, I was involved in the private sector in off duty employment. This experience covers a wide range from providing routine site security in high risk areas to large events details. I worked at Cardinal Health for numerous years providing site security and event security in a well organized, sensitive and low risk environment. I routinely worked large events such as the Razorback games at War Memorial, Riverfest and Race for Cure in downtown Little Rock. I have experience in controlled access sites such as Cardinal Health and public retail site such as the Rave Movie Theater. I have a wide range of experience and interaction with the public, private and business sectors. Let that experience work for you.
