Screening – Under Sheriff La Paz County Sheriff’s Department
Dear Sheriff Candidate Moreno:
I have twenty four years of Municipal Law Enforcement experience. The last six years of my career have been in Police Management and Executive Management, at the ranks of Lieutenant and Assistant Chief of Police. During my career, I have sought out and embraced many challenging assignments. These assignments have included Training, Youth Services, Internal Investigations, Traffic Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations. I was assigned to a Federal Task Force working exclusively with D.E.A., F.B.I., and at times the C.I.A. I have significant experience working hand in hand with the Office of District Attorney of Los Angeles County, and the United States Attorney’s Office. I have consistently worked diligently and promoted through the ranks of the Police Department, where I ultimately achieved the rank of Assistant Chief of Police. I have consistently received evaluations exceeding the expectations for areas of responsibility assigned to me. As the Assistant Chief of Police I provided executive management and oversight to the entire Police Department, consisting of 77 sworn Officers and 140 Civilian personnel encompassing Administrative, Investigative, Patrol, Traffic, Records, Communications, Jail, Animal Control, Code Enforcement, Business Licensing, and Youth Services. I managed an annual budget of 18.4 million, in which approximately 4.4 million were from awarded grants. I am a graduate of the West Point Leadership Academy, and I fluently speak both English and Spanish.
I am extremely interested in your current opening for Under Sheriff of La Paz County, Arizona. I enjoy working with the community and finding solutions to complex quality of life issues. I excelled in my career significantly because I believe in community policing, and community partnership. I am transparent and believe in treating everyone in a fair and impartial manner. I gain personal satisfaction by improving the quality of life for others. I feel that the environment in La Paz County would be a perfect match for me both personally and professionally. I was born and raised in New Mexico, in a very small community, where values are a way of life. This is why I find this opportunity so appealing.
In closing I want to thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing my qualifications.
Respectfully,
Lee J. Alirez
