POLICE CAPTAIN COMMANDING OFFICER
Executive Profile

I have an aggregate of more than 38 years' experience in the field of law enforcement: approximately 25 years with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD); approximately 10 years with Jamaica Constabular Force (JCF); and three years with USC Campus Police Department (Public Safety Department). I attained first-line supervisory rank in the previous two departments, and a service record of excellence in all three departments. Over these 38 years, I have developed into an effective and proven leader, and have become an ardent practitioner of the principles of "Situational Leadership." In addition to my effective leadership skills, I am known for my outstanding written and verbal communication skills; innovative problem-solving skills; analytical and reasoning skills; and effective organizational and planning abilities. I have utilized my acquired skills and abilities to motivate employees to perform at their highest potentials and to also create strategic alliances and collaborative partnerships with community-based organizations, business organizations, political representatives, and other federal/state law enforcement agencies. Through the wealth of knowledge and experience gained from a diverse law enforcement career, I have earned the reputation among my supervisors, peers, and subordinates, as a problem-solver, a bridge-builder/collaborator, and an effective multi-task-oriented leader who always have a can-do attitude.
