"As a mid-career law enforcement officer from a rural county, I was eager to expand my experience and take on new challenges. I had heard from fellow DA Investigators about how much they enjoyed working here—the strong sense of camaraderie, the diverse assignments, and the opportunity to handle complex investigations that most traditional law enforcement agencies don’t typically tackle. When I made the move, I expected to feel like an outsider since I wasn’t from a San Joaquin County agency—but that couldn’t have been further from the truth. From day one, I was welcomed with open arms by peers and supervisors alike. I was given the training, tools, and trust to excel, and I quickly realized that this agency wasn’t just a workplace—it was a family. That experience inspired me to help preserve this culture of support, growth, and excellence. I make it my mission to ensure that anyone who steps into this agency feels the same sense of belonging and purpose that I did. If you’re looking for a career where you’re valued, challenged, and part of something bigger than yourself, this is the place to be."
