City of Lenoir

• Police Officer/ Captain

  • 1976 - 2006

  Loaded question. I started out as a patrol officer. Then, traveled the patrol ranks. Did a stint in Investigations. Accepted a Captain's rank and the Support Services Division - which is everything except... investigations and patrol. Loved it. I finished by career with a few years as the Patrol Division Commander, and retired in January of 2006. Loaded question. I started out as a patrol officer. Then, traveled the patrol ranks.
