We are excited to welcome Michelle Jimenez as our newest Police Officer! Michelle has always had a passion for criminal Justice and law enforcement, which she pursued by earning an associate's degree in the field. Her journey with our department began as a part-time Police Assistant, after which she moved up to a full-time Community Service Officer (CSO), and now, she has achieved her goal of becoming a Police Officer.

Her leadership and dedication have been evident throughout her career. Michelle is bilingual, and she is particularly enthusiastic about engaging with the Latin American community in our town.
