My leadership philosophy is built on customer service, communication, consistency, and procedural justice. Customer service is the foundation of public safety leadership, focusing on both internal and external aspects.

Internally within the agency, it's essential that every rank and assignment receives the same level of respect and service we expect them to provide to our citizens. This culture of customer service, procedural justice and respect within the department sets an example and equips officers to deliver the best service to the community they can. To achieve our internal customer service goals, it's fundamental to clearly communicate expectations to every staff member and consistently implement procedural justice at every level.

Transparency in all aspects of the department's operations fosters an engaged and efficient police force while rebuilding the trust of the citizens we serve.

Open communication helps prevent the toxic culture of information hoarding and low morale, while also keeping our community informed.

Consistency is another key principle. Leaders must be reliable and approachable at all times, ensuring that staff feel comfortable bringing concerns forward. Consistency in engagement, professionalism, and customer service from leadership encourages a positive agency culture.

These simple yet profound principles of customer service, communication, consistency, and procedural justice are the foundation of my leadership approach. Applying these concepts consistently has helped me develop a reputation as a strong leader, an agency reformer, and a leader capable of guiding law enforcement agencies in any situation.
