In the spring of 2013 I was personally selected to participate in a 9 week program for the Tampa Police Department's Citizen Academy.

This program familiarized me with the daily activities of a Tampa Police Officer.  

I was able to ride with offices on patrol, put myself to the test with taatctical exercises, meet the K-9 team, see CSI Tampa in action and learn what it takes to be a cop.  

This behind the scenes opportunity gave me in site into the rigerous training that prepares Tampa Police officers for their daily duties of protecting and serving the citizens of our great city.
