Aitkin
Summary
Dynamic Police Officer with over 15 years of law enforcement experience. Proven skills in leadership, communication, and community engagement. Committed to enhancing public safety through effective training and collaboration.
I have been instructing in arrest and control tactics for nearly 10 years. I believe my past experience in wrestling, along with my dedication to educating others in the field to better prepare them for real-world arrest and control tactics will promote Officer and public safety.
My passion in Law Enforcement gradually evolved over the years, and I have found that instructing is the most rewarding and important position I've held in my 18 years on the job. I would love to further discuss my experience and what I have to offer if a position is available with Storm Training Group.
