Welcome to the Third District

I'm so very excited about my new assignment as Commander of the Third District. My time as an Inspector at the Fourth District gave me great insight into various crime trends in different parts of the city. That experience, coupled with my earlier patrol & specialized assignments, gives me the tools I need to work with our community partners as we identify ways to use traditional and non-traditional policing methods to address and prevent crime in the Third District. I absolutely thrive in the space of Impactful Community Engagement, and welcome your community input and partnerships. As a 3rd generation MPD police officer, my family has served this great city for over sixty-five+ years and I genuinely love everything about my chosen profession and the ability to help people. I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns that may arise and truly look forward to meeting all of you.
