While I was employed by the Department of Correction and Sheriff's Office I was assigned to Hostage Negotiations. I was deployed on several hostage or barricaded subjects in several different situations, all with favorable turnouts. I was also on the Honor Guard team at the Sheriff's office, we did a multitude of parades, government gatherings and funerals. I found both of these teams to be challenging and rewarding.
