Summary
With 15 years of experience in corrections, defensive tactics instruction, and emergency response, I bring a wealth of knowledge as a highly experienced law enforcement supervisor. Proven leadership in high-risk inmate management, tactical team operations, and use-of-force decision-making. Seeking to utilize expertise in SERT to enhance facility security, emergency response, and team training. Currently serving as the Custody Administrative Sergeant, responsible for drafting and reviewing policies and acting as the Jail Commander in his absence. In my off time I contribute to the community as a youth baseball and football coach.
