I began my law enforcement career in Beaumont, Texas when I was 20 years old. I was working in a grocery store to pay my tuition at Lamar University and give
me a little spending money. A lieutenant on the police department that I knew through church told me one day about an opening for a dispatcher.
The job paid the amazing sum of $300 per month! Considering the fact I was only making a buck an hour, this sounded like serious money.
