I have never served on a conlnnittee, however I feel that I have several qualifications that could be of benefit to the police coiTmssion. I have been a continuous resident of the city of Kalispell for nearly57 ears. The only y y time that I did not reside within the city iinlits was the four years that I served in the U. S. Army.

I have had an office on main street for the past 23 years. I served on the Kalispell Police Department for 20 years and retired in 1987. The assistant chief of police is the only person remaining on the department that I worked with. During my time on the police department, and since retiring, I have conducted thousands of interviews. I have worked with lave enforcement throughout the state conducting polygraph examinations during and since my retirement. I feel that nay background and expertise could be of benefit to the Kalispell Police p Commission.

I feel it is time to give back to this community for all it has given us. I have owned and managed businesses for 30 years and feel I am qualified to dill the position if you so choose. I am able to commit for the 3 year term and look forward to the opportunity of serving on the Police Commission board.
