Investigation: As a Detective assigned to the Violent Crimes Section Domestic Violence Unit I am responsible for investigating crimes, incidents, suspicious activities, and other matters assigned to me.

Interviewing: I am tasked with conducting interviews with victims, witnesses, suspects, and informants and must gather information, assess credibility, and extract relevant details to further my investigations.
Collaboration: I often collaborate with other law enforcement agencies, forensic experts, and legal professionals to exchange information, coordinate efforts, and ensure thorough investigation and prosecution of cases.

Deputy Sheriff
Pima County Sheriff s Department
Tucson, AZ

Patrol Experience: I graduated from the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement academy. I then participated in a 4 week Advanced Basic academy and completed a 12 week Field Training Officer program. As a Deputy Sheriff, I exercised my knowledge in Arizona Criminal Code, Civil laws and Traffic infractions to preserve and keep the peace within Pima County. I conducted thorough investigations and made arrest decisions based on information collected through interviews, interrogations, video and photographic evidence, and physical evidence. As a Deputy Sheriff, I frequently took on the responsibility of conducting criminal investigations, stepping in when detectives were unavailable or overburdened. I continued as a Patrol Deputy for 6 years until I promoted to the position of Detective.
Supervisory Role: As a senior Patrol Deputy I often was assigned an acting/interim district supervisor, I made crucial decisions in the absence of a commissioned sergeant, often dealing with sensitive employee issues with discretion and professionalism.

Safety and Crisis Management: I responded to emergencies such as fights, medical emergencies, fires, and riots. I was trained to use verbal de-escalation techniques or physical force as necessary to maintain control and protect myself, other staff, and inmates.
Searches and Contraband Control: As a housing unit officer one of my daily duties was to conduct searches of inmates, cells, and common areas to confiscate unauthorized items such as weapons, drugs, or other contraband.
Maintaining Order and Discipline: My daily tasks were to enforce discipline on unruly inmates by issuing warnings, sanctions, or disciplinary actions for rule violations. I would then document incidents, write reports, and participate in disciplinary hearings if necessary.
