05/2001 to 11/2005 Police Officer 40+ Hours per week Town Of Milltown | City, STATE, I began as a reserve officer with the department and worked closely with Chief Ray Saylor and his K-9 partner's.  I began my own partnership with K-9 Officer Lueky soon after joining the department.  Lueky was a dual purpose K-9 and was trained in obedience, tracking and trailing, and narcotics, and take down.  In 2002 I was hired on full time with Milltown Police Department. I successfully completed Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in 2003 with a 96.8 percent. During my years as a K-9 Officer I had the privilege of working with some of the finest first responders I’ve ever known, from ISP Troopers to local Officers to the Firefighter’s and EMS workers all over Southern Indiana.  Our K-9 Team services were utilized in Crawford, Harrison, Washington, and Floyd counties in Indiana. We were dispatched at any and all hours and never turned down a call. I became a trained Child Forensic Interviewer and was utilized as the primary forensic interviewer for the Comfort House Child Advocacy Center.Â
 I was also promoted to Lieutenant and was given the responsibility of overseeing a reserve program of 6 to 8 Officers and assisting with the Cadet program.  In December 2005 the grant money for my position ran out and I made the decision to complete my college education as quickly as possible.
