My career with the Edwardsville Police Department began with formal Law Enforcement training at the Illinois State Police Academy in Springfield, Illinois.

I have served the Edwardsville Police Department as a Patrol Officer, Bicycle Patrol Officer, Juvenile Officer, Shift Commander, Ward Officer, and as a School Resource Officer (SRO). I received training to become an SRO with Corbin & Associates prior to serving as an SRO at Liberty Middle School and Edwardsville High School.

Beginning in the 2006/2007 school year, I have been given an opportunity to continue a working relationship with the Edwardsville School District as the School Resource Officer Coordinator for Edwardsville Schools.

I look forward to continuing the excellent partnership that has been established between the Edwardsville School District and the Edwardsville Police Department through the Edwardsville Police Department’s School Resource Officer program. The Edwardsville Police Department School Resource Officer’s will continue to strive to provide students with a safe and secure learning environment.
