With his over 30 years of public service, his philosophy is simple, “as law enforcement I work for the citizens and taxpayers. I must daily demonstrate my agencies’ core values of professionalism, accountability, compassion, and trust, to earn support and respect from the men and women I lead and the community I serve”.
