Accomplishments

On several occasions I received awards for my work as a law enforcement officer. Later in recognition of my work ethic, I was given the opportunity to train for and later gain my Crash Reconstruction certifications or RECON.

During my time in law enforcement I was able to put to practical use my reconstruction knowledge to bring cases to full closure, not only for the state but for the victim's and their family members.

As a Lieutenant at the Harrison Police Department, I was responsible for many daily task which included; writing reports, training officers, managing schedules, and oversight of day to day operations.

Working with people on a daily basis is one of my skills as a service employee. Not only did I have the privilege to work with the public during the most practical of time, I was able to help them during their most vulnerable times as well. This takes patience, understanding and a great deal of empathy in order to communicate with people at some of their most dire of times in their lives.
