QUALIFICATIONS
Dedicated veteran police commander who has successfully accomplished a transition to a Security
leadership role in the educational area. I possess strong analytical skills utilizing the ability to objectively
identify and analyze changing circumstances and respond appropriately. I have administrative experience
of over 20 years in planning, budgeting, supervision, project management, and policy writing. I have
established proficiency in computers, software applications, and use of the Internet.

Broward College, 1000 Coconut Creek Blvd, Coconut Creek, FL 33063
• Campus Safety shift supervisor for the North Campus.
• Designed, implemented and supervised Security for Political rally and guest speaker former VP
AL Gore
• Responded and supervise Campus Safety Personnel at accidents and Emergency scenes.
Responded to locations of incidents and determined if we needed maintenance, Cleaning crew,
Fire Rescue, more help from the Police department, the Dean of students, etc. I decided which
was the best way to handle the call and resolve the matter. Always keeping in mind the school
and students’ interest. At the end of each day, I wrote a summary of activities for the Dean of
Administration and the Lieutenant. Since I worked weekends, sometimes the over head
projectors did not work, the A/C was not working, and there were cleaning problems. I looked for
other classrooms to accommodate the immediate needs of the professor and report the incidents
in the daily Log to my supervisors. This position requires common sense and good judgment.
