On February 9th I attended the Bill LEMIT - Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas for a week long Newly Elected Constable training.
In seeking this position, what are your objectives? To serve and help the Citizens of Stephens County. Since I have been Constable, I have found that it allows me to see and speak to citizens face-to-face and hear their needs. This has allowed me to help them find the help they need. Throughout my career in Law Enforcement, I have always believed in treating everyone the way I would want my family treated.
What are your qualifications for this office? I have been in Law Enforcement for over 30 years. Most of my career has been around the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I started working for the Breckenridge Police Department in 2014. In 2016, I accepted a position with the Dallas City Marshal's Office. There, I started off in the Warrants Division, but later transferred to the city jail as a supervisor running the jail on nights. In 2018, we made a family decision to move back to Breckenridge, where I started back with the Breckenridge Police Department. In 2022, I accepted a position with the Stephens County Sheriff's Office as a Patrol Deputy. In 2025, I was appointed by Stephens County to step in as Constable.
