“Lt was a good ol boy supervisor with a no nonsense attitude. He was the DUI king and taught me the right way from Field Sobriety Test’s to the report. He was praised by the District Attorney’s for his report style he instilled to his shift. Loved hearing his fishing stories from Lake Crowley. He doted on his kids and grandkids. Wish there were more like him at the Department.”

“Kerry and I worked together at the China Lake Police Department for years. He was an excellent & accomplished law enforcement officer, and he was a great friend. Many people are alive today because of his dedication to serving and protecting the community he patrolled. He will be sorely missed. Rest easy, partner 🚔 we’ve got the watch.”
