| Why Law Enforcement | My grandfather and great uncle were both career Chicago PD officers. I grew up hearing great stories, admiring both of them and their professions, and eventually I got interested in making the job my career. |
| First Arrest | I was tripped to the American Inn and Suites on a possible domestic situation. We were granted access into the designated room. Upon patting down one suspect, I smelled an odor of marijuana coming from his person. I discovered a small baggie of marijuana in his pocket. He was placed under arrest. |
