While serving in the Army during 9/11, I was intrigued with
New York City and the NYPD. After serving in the Army, I went to New York and
took the test to become one of New York’s Finest. I got to see things most
people only dream about. When the opportunity arose to return to Western New
York and continue to be a police officer, I was honored to be able to do
something I love and return home. Because of the differences in the pension
systems, I was able to file for early retirement with the NYPD before accepting
a job as a police officer with the State University Police. I am thankful for
my time as a SUNY police officer because I was able to complete a bachelor’s
degree and start a master’s degree program with SUNY assistance. After
completing my studies, I went on to become a criminal investigator and then
senior criminal investigator with the Health Department. My work leads me to
partner with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. I still work
as a police officer part time with one of our local agencies here in Erie
County.
I am honored to say that I have served our country, I’m
serving our community, and now I’m running for city council to serve you as your
council member.
My law enforcement career has left a legacy behind of people
that I have helped and people I will continue to help. To quote Sir Robert
Peel, “The Police are the Public; the Public are the Police. The Police are
paid to give full time attention to duties that are incumbent upon every
citizen in the interest of community welfare and existence.”
I thank you for taking the time to read about my law
enforcement background. Please feel free to call, text, or email if you would
like to meet in person. I love meeting all my neighbors!
