North Precinct

I have been with the Seattle Police Department for over 24 years in various roles and positions.  I started my career serving over ten years as a patrol officer in the East and North Precincts and then over three years as a North Precinct Detective investigating burglaries, thefts, and other property crimes.  After being promoted to sergeant, I served in the West Precinct as a patrol sergeant.  

In 2014, the Seattle Police Department formed the Force Investigation Team (FIT), and I was selected as the unit’s first sergeant.  This was a challenging, yet fulfilling, assignment helping to create a new unit, establishing the policies and procedures, while simultaneously supervising and conducting force investigations and serious misconduct cases related to force.  

In 2020, I was promoted to lieutenant and moved to the department’s Audit, Policy, and Research Section (APRS) and was later promoted to the captain of the same unit.  In APRS, I supervised research projects, department audits, and drafting department policies.  After APRS I moved to the Seattle Police Department’s Range and Training Unit supervising day-to-day range operations, addressing facility improvements, and department training requirements.  I now have the honor of serving as the North Precinct Captain and look forward to learning my new role and creating partnerships with communities and businesses throughout North Seattle.  

My education includes a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Washington (Go Dawgs!) and a master’s degree in criminal justice with a focus in investigative criminology from Seattle University.  I am a graduate of the Senior Management in Policing program (SMIP) and have extensive training in criminal investigations and force investigations.
