In 2017 he was hired by the Springfield, police department and had a successful career there.

“He enjoyed the work but ultimately decided that the type of Community Policing he longed to do and that suited his personality better could be found in a community like Ashland. He was given a conditional offer of employment a few months ago and after successfully completing mandatory testing, he joined our department this week,”announced Ashland Police on social media.,

” He will complete an abbreviated field training program and then be on his own,” said Ashland Police.
