I became a member of the Albuquerque Police Department in 2002. I have been a member of the Albuquerque Police Officers Association Executive Board for the past 6 years. I have held the position of CIB representative for 3 years, the APOA Vice President for 3 years and now I am the interim President. My primary goals in this first term is to bring the APOA to a more solid fiscal position by controlling spending and over hauling our By-Laws to protect the assets of the Association.
Second, I would like to see the APOA more proactive in the community, thus having a positive impact for the citizens we are sworn to protect.
Most importantly, I want to bring that sense of family back to this organization, I want our members to look upon this Association with prideful eyes knowing they have people they trust in their corner when the time comes.
Thank you for the honor and opportunity to serve those who devote their lives serving others.
