This is my current assignment and is detailed above. Basically, I am responsible for supporting instructional system design operations for a large government agency. This includes, but is not limited to job skill training and "train-the-trainer" instructional design.

I was charged with supporting training for federal law enforcement agents. This training included, but was not limited to, the use of small arms and law enforcement tactics, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) responses and other high risk, non-traditional law enforcement activities. I also provide training and instruction in areas of traditional law enforcement activities, such as vehicle stops and application of constitutional law.

My last assignment was in the Traffic Section. In this position, I was responsible for supervising 10 employees full time. In addition, I supervised temporary assignments that involved anywhere from 25 to 100+ employees. I was responsible for providing local liaison and support for USSS transportation details for POTUS, VPOTUS and other VIP under their protection. It was my responsibility to provide the USSS with intelligence on the best routes of travel, liaison with the agents to plan those routes and then organize and execute escorts utilizing a combination of fixed post and motorcycle motorcade escort for all of the above VIPs. I have planned and conducted numerous POTUS/VPOTUS escorts, none of which involved a serious incident. Most of these escorts require that I liaison with anywhere from 5-10 outside law enforcement agencies and coordinate all of their activities in order to accomplish the objective.I was also responsible for developing and supervising STEP programs that involved 50-100 personnel and had operating budgets well over $200K. These were the largest single agency STEPs with the State of New Mexico.I was also responsible for supervising the investigation of fatal and near fatal traffic crashes within the city of Albuquerque. During my tenor, the number of fatal crashes was reduced approximately 3% each year.Finally, I was responsible for acting as the representative for the Chief of Police (with signature authority) with respect to the permitting of all special events within the City of Albuquerque, to include the New Mexico State Fair, the AIBF, all UNM sporting events, all parades and all other special events requiring a permit within the city limits. To my knowledge, I was the only Sergeant on the department authorized to sign documents as a representative of the Chief of Police.This is not nearly a complete list of the duties that I performed. Additional information is available upon request.

After serving as a detective, I was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. I was ranked number one on my promotional list, with the highest overall score, highest score on the written test and highest score in one or more assessment center areas.I was initially assigned to a high crime area of Albuquerque and given responsibility for two squads of officers: One patrol squad of 7 officers and one CRT Team of 6 detectives. It is highly unusual for a Sergeant to be assigned to supervise two squads. But, given my past experience, I was given the assignment. This assignment lasted approximately 6 months. The remaining 18 months of my tenor as a patrol Sergeant consisted of normal field supervisor duties with a squad of 8-10 officers under my command. These duties included but were not limited to supervising patrol officers, evaluating patrol officers, evaluating entry level officers with respect to their performance as rookies and maintaining their training. I was also responsible for serving as the incident commander at critical incidents and major crime scenes, approving reports and investigations conducted by patrol officers, conducting inspections and imposing discipline.In addition to the duties required of all supervisors, I initiated a training program for members of my squad which was eventually expanded to the entire area command. On a voluntary basis (no OT authorized), I would conduct advanced training for patrol officers which included but was not limited to response to active shooter, felony vehicle stops, proper search technique for suspects and suspect vehicles, building searches, area searches, proper perimeter technique and advanced firearms training.

Upon leaving the SWAT team, I took a position as a detective with a Community Response Team (CRT). Unlike traditional detectives who respond to crimes that have already been committed, CRT detectives were expected to take a proactive approach to policing by attempting to apprehend offenders in the process of committing crimes and to reduce the total amount of felony crime in a given area. Detectives are given a wide latitude of options to accomplish this and are limited only by existing laws and their own imaginations.My partner and I created an initiative that was later implemented by other units. By targeting criminal elements operating out of local hotels, we were able to arrest subjects involved in a wide variety of felony crimes. We worked with hotel management in order to accomplish this and had cooperation from one major hotel chain on a national level. We were responsible for all investigations from beginning to end.My partner and I made hundreds of felony arrests in the two-year period I served in this capacity. These arrests and investigations often involved specialized units from APD (Narcotics, Armed Robbery, Burglary) as well as numerous outside state and federal agencies. These agencies included but were not limited to BATFE, US Postal Inspectors, US Marshal's Service, FBI, US Secret Service, Federal and State Probation and Parole, NM State Police Special Investigations Division and US DHS.This program was successful enough that my partner and I were asked to train a number of other teams in the process we developed for conducting it. The program was recognized by the department as having a significant effect on a number of high crime hotels in Albuquerque.

After serving three years as a K-9 handler, I transferred over to the SWAT Team. Normally, this is a tested position. But, as I was already SWAT qualified and experienced, I was transferred with no testing process.My first assignment was solely as an entry team member. After one year, I was given the additional duty of Designated Marksman (DM). My marksmanship training consisted of the USDOE PROFOT course and additional in-house training with the DM element of the SWAT team.As a member of the SWAT team, I responded to approximately 450+ activations. These situations included but were not limited to barricaded gunman, armed suicidal subjects, high risk warrant services, area and building searches for violent felons, hostage rescues, violent crowd control problems, high level security at major public events to include Counter Assault Team (CAT) element for VPOTUS and other VIPs not assigned a full time CAT and tactical support for units attempting apprehension of known violent fugitives as well as many other situations where a Special Weapons and Tactics response was requested. During my tenor with the SWAT team, I attended dedicated training blocks in LE Sniper/Observer Tactics, Mechanical Breaching, Intermediate Use of Force Instructor, Use of Force Instructor, Taser Instructor, Airborne Law Enforcement Operations, Counter Terrorism, Tubular Assaults (Busses more than Aircraft), Dignitary Protection, Less Lethal Munitions and other areas.I attended unit training to maintain proficiency all of the areas above, and more, on a weekly basis at a minimum. DM training was conducted on a monthly basis at a minimum.Members of the APD SWAT team serve as full-time SWAT officers. Their primary duties are to support patrol officers with a SWAT response when requested, train for such responses and support patrol functions in any other way possible.

After 3 years in FSB Patrol, I tested for and was selected to become a member of my department's K-9 unit.Prior to selection, I spent approximately 250 hours of my personal time riding with the K-9 unit and training with them in order to better prepare myself for the testing and eventual indoctrination into the unit.After selection, I attended basic K-9 School at Adlerhorst International in Riverside, CA. The school lasted 6 weeks. There is no ranking of the graduates.It was during this time that I was given my basic training in Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), as all K-9 handlers at the Albuquerque Police Department are required to be cross trained in SWAT. I attended this training at the USDOE facilities in Albuquerque and was the top graduate in my class.I also attended a K-9/SWAT interaction school during this time in Las Cruces, NM and was the top graduate from that class.During my tenor as a K-9 handler, my dog and I had 6 physical apprehension of felony suspects. We had numerous suspects surrender after warnings were given. Our primary duties were to assist patrol officers in searching commercial buildings for felony burglary suspects, conduct area searches for felony suspects eluding capture and to assist officers dealing with high risk/armed suspects as a less lethal force option. K-9 handlers were also called upon to assist patrol officers needing officers with SWAT training in various high risk scenarios.APD K-9 handlers are also required to respond to all SWAT activations and, if not handling a dog, act as an entry team member. During my tenor as a K-9 handler, I responded to approximately 300 SWAT activations and attended all SWAT training in addition to all K-9 training.I was also part of a FEMA response team to the Cerro Grande fire in Los Alamos, NM. Along with members of the SWAT team, my dog and I assisted that community as law enforcement relief for that department and community which had been devastated by fire.

I began my career in law enforcement as most do: Patrol. I was a patrol officer in the higher crime areas of Albuquerque for the first 5 years of my career.During this time, I became skilled in basic investigations, basic police tactics, tactics for criminal patrol, interacting with community groups and leaders, crime suppression, critical incident management and other basic police skills.During this time, I also had specialized training in street gang investigations and spent a great deal of time conducting such investigations. I was also certified as a member of the APD Crisis Intervention Team, which was a group of officers with over 40 hours of training in dealing with the mentally ill and other people in crisis.
