Thomas Holmes
St Paul,US
Summary
I have worked as a Sergeant and Deputy Sheriff as well as a Police Officer with eleven years of experience in a variety of law enforcement agencies. I have had to complete a plethora of complex investigations and tasks. I maintained the evidence room as well as its log book while maintaining the chain of custody at the Sherman County Sheriff’s Office. I have been a field training officer at both Sherman County and the St. Paul Police Department. I encouraged and corrected the deputies under my supervision as a sergeant. I have had to make decisions whether or not to pursue legal action while supporting the basis for those actions. I am required to think on my feet and be available at all times to respond to calls for service or answer the questions from those under my authority.
