I have more than 27 years experience in law enforcement serving in both local city police and state law enforcement. I retired in April of 2024 as a Lieutenant with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. I have been a certified law enforcement instructor for more than 17 years and continue to teach Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) classes at local police academies. I also have specialized law enforcement instructor certification for speed measuring instruments (Radar/Lidar) and continue to teach, certify and re-certify NC law enforcement officers for their certification to operate these instruments. I have previously been certified to conduct commercial motor vehicle inspections under the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) and served as a Trooper as well a supervisor in the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) with additional certifications to inspect hazardous materials loads, cargo tanks, hazardous materials bulk packages, and motor coaches (bus). I have served on the "street level" as a police officer and State Trooper. I have served as a field first line supervisor (Sergeant), field district commander (First Sergeant), and executive assistant (Lieutenant) at two regional headquarters as well as in support services in the Technical Services Unit (IT and radio) for the North Carolina State Highway Patrol with 16 of my service years being in law enforcement supervision.
