Accomplishments
as the only Sergeant Assigned to the South County Station for approximately 6 years, I took care of the day to day operations of the station.
Made sure the station ran smoothly, often taking care of any issues that would arise and later advise the Monterey Commander of what had taken place.
I tried to set the standard as exemplified by his day to day performance and hold the deputies in my station to that standard.
I develop a new patrol schedule for 2020 that opened all stations and brought back 24-hour patrol coverage to the entire county.
I created a training schedule for all special units to help each unit select training dates that were beneficial for the entire department and reduce overtime costs. As a result the new schedule provided county wide coverage, training that is needed for all special units and that greatly reduced overtime.
During the Covid-19 crisis I made sure to coordinate the delivery of PPE supplies to the South County Station and ensured all deputies in that station were properly outfitted with the necessary supplies. I also made sure to coordinate many of the station upgrades and movement that Cmdr. Tongol had implemented during his time.
When the River, Carmel and Dolan fires broke out, I took the roll of Field Supervisor for the Carmel fire evacuation teams.
when the Dolan fire began to grow bigger and headed back towards Fort Hunter Liggett and Pine Canyon, I assumed the role once again.
