After leaving the military in 2017, my policing career began with a strong focus on building a stronger community. However, I soon realized that the field of policing had not kept up with modern times. Then, my navy-acquired technical skills sparked a deep interest in modernization. I began my journey by attempting to build and develop indoor drone platforms for clearing. In the spring of 2023, I joined the bomb squad, where I quickly started developing innovative strategies for robot operations. Additionally, I had the opportunity to introduce 3D printing to the police department through the bomb squad. I am proud to have played a role in bringing new technologies and approaches to law enforcement, ensuring a safer and more efficient community.

Policing is a subject that often sparks controversy and is viewed differently by both the political left and right. However, despite these differing perspectives, I am determined to do my best in my current position to promote peace within the community. I firmly believe that this is a responsibility that must be fulfilled, regardless of one's beliefs. Creating safer communities is a goal that I strongly support, and the police department has provided me with a platform to utilize my skills and contribute towards achieving that objective. Building a safe community for everyone to.

My Why...

Experience

The Police Bomb Squad is responsible for locating a rendering dangerous devices such as bombs safe. This can be done in person or with remote tools such as robots.

The Unmanned Arial Unit at the Huntsville Police Department is one of the largest in the country. I flew UAVs with a Part 107 license for all sorts of missions.

Crisis Intervention is the delicate art of de-escalating individuals who are experiencing acute mental issues and manic episodes.
