Why is Public Service important to you?

“Public service is of utmost importance to me because I have a strong desire to give back to my community and also want to be a positive influence in the lives of the people we serve everyday. My goal as a Police Officer is to leave the people I meet with a strong sense of trust and mutual respect, while at the same time effectively performing my duties. Humanizing the badge and building long lasting, positive relationships between the community and Law Enforcement is what I take great pride in achieving.”
