In February of 2009 I began my service as Commander of the Third District. This is an exciting time in the police department as we use new technologies to assist us in our policing efforts. We will work to document, investigate and solve crime as well as being proactive in pinpointing crime trends to prevent future crimes from occurring. We will continue to do our best to ensure the Third District, with its many diverse neighborhoods, remains a safe place to live, work and play! Our top priority is to improve the quality of life for the residents and businesses in the Third District.
