Constable; Township of Lower Pottsgrove

This information is provided by the candidate

I have been married to my high-school sweetheart Jen for 6 years now, and we have been together for 9. We have a 9 year old son who is an A student at Ringingrocks Elem School.

I attended Boyertown Area Sr High, and graduated with honors.

I faithfully served the Montgomery County public as a Senior Emergency Dispatcher at the Montgomery County Emergency Operations Center for 5 1/2 years, working all areas of the 9-1-1 center. I also acted as a trainer for new employees.

After my time at Montco, I worked as a Private Investigator, as well as a private security officer in a high-crime, high-risk area in both Philadelphia and the city of Chester.

Shortly after this, I had an opportunity to become a Correctional Officer, and worked for 2 years supervising all levels of inmates. I was recognized many times for outstanding achievement, and prior to leaving I was selected to be a Field Training Officer of new trainees.

Also during this time, I had the privelage of working part-time as a Private Police Officer in Lehigh County, where I implimented the IPMBA Police Bike training program, resulting in the certification of 7 bike patrol officers, including myself. I then went on to become the bike team supervisor and mechanic. I handled many larger-scale cases, and prior to leaving this position I made a major drug arrest.

For the past year, I have been a Police Communications Officer for West Chester Police Department. I thoroughly enjoy my position, and I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge in the year I have been there. I work intensely and closely with my fellow officers, supervise arrestees, complete in-depth accident and police reports, and assure open lines of communications between officers and the public.
