Derek has spent his career advocating and training for a trauma informed approach to policing, connecting with the community and using an "It takes a village" approach to solving some of the most complex issues facing law enforcement and the communities we serve. Before serving as a law enforcement officer, Derek was in management at a Fortune 100 company where he crafted his leadership style that he subsequently adapted to fit law enforcement.
