Since 2019, he has served as Chief of the Snow Hill Police Department, overseeing the department’s daily operations, personnel, budget, policies, training and public safety responsibilities.
His experience also includes crisis intervention, active shooter preparedness, cybersecurity and technology, K-9 operations, community outreach, emergency management and law enforcement instruction.
