Jessica’s public service did not begin with law enforcement, as she spent 12 years in the United States Military serving her country, only to receive a retirement and continue her passion for serving the community as law enforcement.
Jessica joined the Police Activities League (PAL) because it was essential to be more involved with the community and help build relationships with community members.
