I have 10 years of law enforcement experience, and hold an Advanced Peace Officer License, Police Instructor License, and Correctional Officer License.  During my career with the Mt. Pleasant Police Department I have been promoted three times.  I received a commendation from the Chief of Police for professionalism,  an academic achievement award from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Education (TCLEOSE), an honorable service award, and several certificates of merit.  My prior law enforcement/investigative expericence has been with the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services in Bryan/College Station, Texas as a child abuse investigator, and with Franklin County (Texas) Sheriff's Department as a deputy sheriff and corrections officer.
