Tara Winter

I am an extremely dedicated peace officer with the State of Oklahoma, with over eleven years of experience in law enforcement. I have been successful in managing situations requiring diplomacy, fairness, firmness, and sound judgment. I have strong crime investigation, evidence preservation, and witness interview skills. I am enthusiastic and able to work in both a team-based and independent capacity. I bring a strong work ethic, and excellent organizational skills to any setting. I am a skilled narcotics investigator with a strong background in law enforcement, drug interdiction, and undercover operations. Proven ability to conduct thorough investigations, gather evidence and collaborate effectively with local, state and federal agencies. My strengths include exceptional judgment, critical thinking skills, and an understanding of legal processes related to drug offenses and child crimes. I am looking to apply these skills and experience to this new agent position and expand my knowledge base and grow as an investigator.
