Once I retired from the Army, I immediately began my second career in Law Enforcement, with the Division of the Capitol Police in Richmond, Virginia, the oldest police department in the United States, dated back to 1618. I spent 4.5 years as I bike patrol police officer.
After 911, Fort Lee, Virginia created civilian police positions and I began there as a Lead Sergeant, until 2004, when I became a Supervisory Police Officer (Watch Commander), until the present time.
It's been a long 43 years with the Federal Government, served in green, now in blue, supporting this country, and still serving our military member.
