Joseph Harris

As a seasoned law enforcement officer, I have dedicated myself to serving the people of New Mexico since 2015. My career commenced in Sandoval County as a patrol deputy, where I responded to diverse service calls in a rural environment and developed a solid foundation in traffic enforcement and crash investigation, culminating in my certification as a Traffic Crash Reconstructionist. Progressing in my career, I completed the New Mexico State Police lateral 3 class and served in the Santa Fe district. In 2019, I became a patrol officer with the Bosque Farms Police Department. The subsequent year saw my advancement to Detective in criminal investigations, and in 2023, I was promoted to Sergeant. In my role as Detective Sergeant, I supervised all criminal investigations. Since 2020, I have contributed to the Criminal Investigations Division, overseeing a wide range of cases, including homicide, property crimes, violent crimes, and child-related offenses. I am currently seeking to transition to a new career that utilizes the extensive skills and experience I have gained beyond law enforcement. I am a proficient security professional, adept at performing building patrols, securing premises, maintaining constant surveillance over visitors, writing reports, updating records, and multitasking in dynamic environments.

In 2013, at Herzog Transit Services, I worked as a ticket agent on a commuter train. My primary duties included selling tickets to passengers, ensuring the safety of all passengers and staff on board, and assisting the conductor with safety procedures during and after travel. I was also responsible for providing quality customer service and defusing any hostile situations.

At Perfection Honda in 2012, as a Service Parts Delivery Driver, I was responsible for the accurate and timely delivery of parts to various dealerships and body shops. I managed the intake of delivered parts and their distribution to service and mechanic shops, facilitating the completion of maintenance and repairs.

I possess experience in the general construction industry, having worked as a general laborer for a concrete and block company. My duties included setting forms, tying rebar, and preparing the ground, which involved digging trenches. Additionally, I have extensive experience in property preservation, including water restoration tasks. This encompasses demolition work following water damage and water extraction. My experience also extends to operating heavy machinery for excavation and surface preparation for new construction projects. Furthermore, I have managed dust control on several large solar projects, which involved operating a water tank truck.
