I wanted to give readers the opportunity to see things through the eyes of a police officer; learn about the injustices that occur within, the politics, the corruption, and the different ways officers risk their lives to do what’s right. Whether it’s on the streets or in the workplace, there are those that care about their communities and those that care only for their personal gain. I made my choice, and I sacrificed everything to stand for what was right.
During my Law Enforcement career, I have been assigned to an Intelligence Unit, Special Operations Group, Federal Task Force, Homicide Division, Special Investigations Division, Gang Task Force, Narcotics Division, Fencing Detail, Vice Crimes, Plainclothes Unit, and Patrol Division for over Thirty-seven years. I have made over twenty thousand Felony Arrests during my career ranging from Narcotics to Homicides.
In Federal and State courts, I have been qualified as an Expert in Gangs and Narcotics. While serving in the Federal Task Force, Gang Task Force, and Violent Crimes Task Force, I was responsible for coordinating and supervising officers assigned to our detail. I’m presently a Retired Police Sergeant (State). I was involved in numerous Undercover Drug/Buy programs and the preparation and executions of Search and Arrest Warrants. I worked closely with numerous Local Police Agencies throughout the State of California, out of State Police Agencies, California Department of Justice, Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Immigration & Naturalization Service, United States Secret Service, U.S. Marshall’s Service, United States Postal Inspection Service” in Organized Crime Investigations, Narcotic, and Gang Related Investigations/Arrests.
I instruct courses known as “The Training Day”. It's the class you never got in the Police Academy or Advanced Officer’s Training. This intense course is about survival and longevity as a Law Enforcement Officer. Learn to make quick decisions within three seconds in order to assess and survive a deadly encounter. Acquire the right decisions to avoid becoming the next media poster child. Assimilate tried and proven tactics that work. “You wanna go to the morgue, or you wanna go home? Because, every encounter is an Armed encounter, why? Because you’re Armed”. An Officer Survival Course.
In the TV and Film Industry, I am a Producer, Writer, and Consultant to Top Hollywood Directors. My credits include: Training Day, Tears of the Sun, Brooklyn's Finest, Olympus has Fallen, Magnificent Seven, Equalizer I & II, ICE TV Series, Streets of L.A., to name a few. Numerous other Film Projects are in pre-production.
