In 2009, I was chosen to be the Commander over the newly formed Community Services Division. Prior to my transfer into the Division, the City of Rowlett’s budget was severely impacted by the recession and downsizing was occurring in the city. As part of the downsizing the Community Services Division acquired Code Enforcement, Animal Control and the Animal Shelter, Health Department, and the City’s trash contract. I was appointed as the City’s Trash Contract Administrator and I was also appointed as the Animal Shelter Advisory Board, as the City Liaison.
Community Focuses:
Several City Ordinance revisions and updates.
Administrator of two city trash contracts, holding trash companies accountable.
School Resource Officers, I’m very proud of the work we did keeping our schools safe and partnering with GISD. We worked hand and hand with GISD staff with new practices and policies to make sure our schools were safe for our children and staff and these practices and policies are still in effect today.
Community Service Officer – we recruited and started up a record number of Crime Watch Groups throughout the city. This gave us record numbers of subdivisions and crime watch groups participating in National Night Out, which was an integral part of us as a city being named one of the safest cities in Texas. Neighbors looking out for neighbors.
