This journey eventually led to the creation of Chief A.J. and how I transitioned into consulting, and where I served as chief for a total of five localities across Virginia. Share with me as I achieved the pinnacle of my career as I was elected, by my peers, as the president of the Virginia Chiefs of Police Association & Foundation, a role that underscored my commitment to the profession.
