Once I became a supervisor and then sheriff, I completed additional training course for those roles. Throughout the years I completed many specialized training courses, some of which included: Critical Incident Management, SWAT Training, Gang & Drug Interdiction, Advanced Accident Investigation, Desert Snow Interdiction, Instructor Development, Defensive Driver Instructor, Criminal Investigations. My initial law enforcement training was completed at the Western New Mexico Police Academy, here in Silver City. After that appointment, I ran for office twice and was elected each time by the citizens of Grant County to be their sheriff. There were higher ranking officers than me, but the county trusted my judgment and work ethic. Then, in 2009 I was asked by the County Commission to take on the sheriff’s role as our sheriff left office mid-term. Between 19 I worked as a deputy sheriff, a corporal and a sergeant for the county. I then worked for the Silver City Police Department for two years, until I achieved my goal of working for the Grant County Sheriff’s Department. I began my career in law enforcement in Hurley, NM in 1990. I have spent nearly three decades working in law enforcement. That cycle has passed so I have returned to carry on my life-long dedication to serving the public. As I was elected for two consecutive terms, state law required that I sit out one election cycle. I have previously served as sheriff, for about ten years, until I retired in December 2018. I was elected as Grant County Sheriff in November 2022 and I took office on January 1, 2023.
