I grew up in the community in which I serve. So when they call 911, you're on the other end of that as a police officer, as a sheriff's deputy.

If I had to boil it down to one word, it would be fulfillment. I really feel good at the end of the day when I am able to help people out, and those are the people that we need in this profession that are driven to help others and protect others.

I hope you join the team and step up and serve. It's a wonderful profession to be a part of and to help your community.
