I am an experienced law enforcement professional with 29 years of expertise in public safety, security operations, and investigations. With a distinguished career at the Henderson Police Department, culminating in my retirement as a Captain in 2019, I bring comprehensive knowledge in a variety of areas, including criminal investigations, special services, emergency management, policy development, and public safety consultation.
As a strategic leader, I have managed large teams, ensuring effective operations across multiple law enforcement divisions.

Whether you need expert consultation on criminal investigations, private security operations, or crisis management, I offer a proven track record in law enforcement leadership and specialized consultation services to enhance safety, security, and operational efficiency.
As part of the Henderson Police Department’s Executive Command Team, I provided leadership across divisions such as Investigations and Special Services. Managing high-performing teams, oversaw criminal investigations, and developed training programs to ensure operational efficiency. My expertise also includes policy development, labor relations, and union negotiations, always prioritizing the highest standards of public safety and security. My role as a liaison to district courts further deepened my expertise in legal compliance.
I’ve provided expert oversight of critical investigative divisions, including homicide, robbery, special victims, fraud, forensics, and crime scene analysis.
