Accomplishments
In 2020 I helped start the Park City Police Explorer cadet program. This program gave teenagers ages 14-20 a taste of what law enforcement duties look like. I served in this program from August 2020 till July 2022. In January 2021 I was promoted to Cadet Sergeant which was the highest leadership rank at the time. My fellow Cadet and I doubled the size of the unit while promoting the program in high school and junior high schools. I also led a select group of Cadets to help with special events such as the annual Park City 4th of July Parade, The annual Park City Miners Day Parade, and some memorials.
In August 2022 I was sworn in to the University of Utah Naval ROTC program. I was a member of a 30 member battalion that specialized in making Naval Officers.
Mechanics
