Dr. Carlton Lewis

I was a police officer from 1989-2006, during which time I held the ranks of Police Officer, Senior Police Officer and Police Corporal. Additional responsibilities included followup investigations, applicant background investigations, academy cadet mentor, and station commander.

While a police officer I was responsible for: the development of the police canine unit, radio traffic modification (signal codes), adoption of patrol rifles, development of organizational recruiting material, conceptual planning for closing the city jail and converting it to a secure evidence storage location, and the installation of secure prisoner compartment for police vehicles.
