He continued his education by attending California State University Northridge and the University of Phoenix. Chris earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management.
Chris’ diverse career in law enforcement began in 1985 as a sheriff’s cadet out of the Camarillo Police Station. Chris graduated from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Academy in October of 1988. Since his return to Ventura County, Chris has worked in a variety of demanding assignments including detention services, patrol services, special enforcement, and as an investigator in the Major Crimes Bureau.
Chris promoted to Commander in February of 2015 and was assigned to West County Patrol Services overseeing the contract cities of Ojai, Fillmore, unincorporated areas surrounding Ventura and Oxnard, the Office of Emergency Services, and the Sheriff’s Communication Center. In the Fall of 2016, Chris was selected to be the chief of police for the city of Camarillo.
