I started my law enforcement career in 2009 as a Detention Officer/Reserve Deputy with Simpson County Sheriff's Department. Through my years of experience, the one thing that has stayed the same is my passion for this job. I enjoy this job even with present day society. I strive to do my very best each and every night I'm in service. This is my 3rd year with Pearl Police Department and I hope to further my law enforcement career at this department.
