Chris' Time in Public Service

 


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!
