Chris began his law enforcement career after graduating from Michigan State University in 2001. He progressed through the ranks at the Michigan State University Police Department, starting as a patrol officer before working as a detective, sergeant, and lieutenant. He became a captain in 2019 and currently oversees the Investigative Division while also filling the role of Public Information Officer. Chris has a Master’s Degree in Culture, Change, and Leadership from Cleary University and is a person with a passion for community outreach and support. He has helped start several initiatives, including the Special Victims Unit to assist survivors in a trauma-informed manner and the Community Care Unit to integrate a holistic model of mental health response. Chris views FAN as a valuable partner in efforts to reduce street and prescription substance abuse, and for assisting individuals as they struggle to understand the challenges they or their family members face when caught in the grasp of addiction.
