Why Law Enforcement I was active duty military and loved it but wanted to move back home. Now I love my job and I’m close to my family.
First Arrest My first arrest was on my first traffic stop ever. I stopped a car for having the wrong license plates on it and arrested a guy for active warrants and marijuana.
Best part of the job Honestly, the best part is having days when you know you helped someone. Wether it was taking them to jail before they made another bad choice or helped them push their stalled car.
Hobbies I love to fish, hunt and golf.
