John R.L. Wardwell
Orland,ME
Summary
Over 23 years in public service, which encompasses positions in the Fire Department, EMS and Law Enforcement. I am a forward thinker and problem solver. I have built my career on the foundation stones of integrity, dependability and accountability. As a criminal investigator in various capacities, I have drafted and executed over 200 warrants. Prior to my sergeant role with the Fire Marshals Office, I had the great fortune to be a leader on a specialized team, coordinating/managing critical responses to clandestine operations. Currently, a mid-level manager for the past three years, I have put my skills to work towards mentoring and building the people around me to be great leaders and succeed where I may have stumbled.
