Once hired, I began the police mandate training program on June 28, 1992. As of today, including myself, there are only 3 of 17 officers from my academy class still employed with Cobb County.

Unfortunately he was killed during a SWAT standoff situation in 1997. Privileged to call Steve Gilner my friend and honored to stand his casket as a member of the Cobb County Honor Guard. Nothing in my career impacted me like that experience. Gilner’s death had a profound effect on me as I realized every dispatch could be the last.
