Summary
My career in law enforcement has included twenty and half years of diverse responsibilities and experiences as a member of the Mamaroneck Village Police Department. My most recent assignment has been as the commanding officer of the Community Services Division. Where I was responsible for all primary functions of Patrol Operations. Before this role, I was the department’s Accreditation Manager, where I successfully led our department in being awarded, for the first time in its history, New York State Accreditation. I have also fulfilled a supervisory position as a Sergeant over the past decade. Before that, I worked for seven years in community policing in the Patrol Division. Within these roles, I have been actively involved in most of the department’s operations including training, administration, technology support, logistics, and the communications/media sector. I hold a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from Marist College with a concentration in public management.
