My return to patrolling the Northeast District from the Homicide Unit has allowed me to address the hardship I faced. I stayed positive, applied the experience I have gained in each unit, and continued to apply these advanced skills within my duties of patrol by seeing through various calls for service more thoroughly than your average patrol officer due to extensive investigative techniques. I have also assisted within the Northeast District Intel, District Action Team, and various initiatives needed to address certain trending crimes.

• Applied my experience as a Detective from the Sex Offense Unit to start investigating Suspicious Deaths and Murders cases.
• This position was short-lived due to a personal hardship resulting into my voluntary transfer back to patrol. However, experience and new investigative techniques were acquired and implemented moving forward.

• Conducted thorough investigations to include gathering pertinent evidence, applying/executing various types of search and seizure warrants, interviewing victims, witnesses, and suspects.
• Collaborated with law enforcement agencies to coordinate crime trends, relative case evidence, and suspect identification/apprehension.
• Apply investigative techniques to include usage of departmental databases, collaborative efforts such as District Intel Detectives for support, and communication with patrol to assist with eyes on the street for any assistance within a case.
• Developed detailed reports summarizing findings for legal proceedings, departmental reviews, and effective case management.

• Learned and implemented safety protocols to ensure secure environment for community.
• Assisted in monitoring public areas to deter crime and provide support to citizens.
• Responded promptly to emergency calls, demonstrating quick decision-making skills.
• Collaborated with team members to maintain effective communication and conduct proactive initiatives during patrols.
