Summary
Over the past eight years, I have been a patrol officer at the Hopkins Police Department. During this time, I have have always worked to better the department in any way that I can. I look to solve problems, suggest improvements and be a leader among my fellow officers. I am hoping to bring these skills to Golden Valley, where I can grow my career as I help grow the Golden Valley Police Department.
