Why Law Enforcement After High School I started working for the department as a civilian. I was a public safety officer and drove the wagon. After 2 years I applied and was accepted to the Police Academy and started my career as a police officer.
First Arrest It was a run to a domestic disturbance. It was my first run in FTO as an officer. The female had hit her husband in the face. It was my first arrest as a police officer.
Best part of the job The closeness of the officers you work with. Sometimes you are with your coworkers more than your family. It truly is a second family.
Hobbies Construction, Coaching and spending time with my family. Also boating and jet skiing!
