Fraud Detective at Haltom City Police Department who solved a $1.4 million employee-embezzlement case.

At Haltom City Police Department, I investigated complex fraud and financial-crime cases, including a $1.4 million employee-embezzlement case I solved by analyzing financial records and other evidence.

As a Fraud Detective, I handled approximately 300–400 new cases annually and maintained an average active caseload of roughly 150 investigations. I also reviewed arrest and investigative cases for probable cause, evidence sufficiency, and filing readiness.

I served as a Police Officer at Duncanville Police Department and as a Staff Sergeant in the Texas Army National Guard. I’m a TCOLE Master Peace Officer and instructor, with experience teaching fraud investigations, investigative methods, and tactical skills.
