Rebbecca Short

As a supervisory, law-enforcement officer in Grand Island, Nebraska, a supervised federal officers, in which our office covered 33 counties here in Nebraska and just our area.

As a supervisor, I was responsible for reviewing all paperwork and files to ensure compliance with federal policy and law. I insured compliance to policy in regards to detainee care. I managed the needs in regards to any office supplies and any related sort of budget. I liasoned with other federal state and local agencies. I fielded complaints from any arrested individuals as well as their attorneys and family members. I developed training protocols to ensure that all officers were up-to-date on the latest information that routinely changed due to a change in administration, law, and/or policy.

As an officer, I routinely enforced Federal laws to ensure compliance and public safety most often during stressful situation's. I needed to be adept in making split-second decisions that were in compliance with both policy and law. I conducted a thorough investigation of criminal activities, and potential threats.

in August 2025, I retired from federal service. (As a law enforcement officer, I was eligible to retire at 50 years old as long as I had 20 years in.)
