While employed with the Stockton Police Department, I have been in several positions where effective communication is paramount. I have trained approximately 100 officers during my time as a Field Training Officer some of whom have promoted to various positions within the department. I have consistently made myself available to any and all members of the department to provide information, guidance and options to conclude or resolve a wide variety of circumstances and problems. I have taken charge of several situations keeping Officer Safety and the safety of the public at the forefront. I have often used my eighteen years of service as a a Stockton Police Officer to provide counseling at a personal and professional level.
