Les BEHRENDS

i have spent over 20 years in the Law Enforcement Field. After my Marine Corps enlistment, I worked for a short time in a Cardboard Box Factory. I realized that chosen line of work was not for Me. I returned to school majoring in Criminal Justice. I then proceeded to work for the U.S. Government as a Federal Police Officer. After completing Junior College, I then went to work for a small city in Shirley, Arkansas as City Marshal. After a couple of years there I was approached by the Newly elected Sheriff of Van Buren County Sheriff's Department. After starting as part time Patrol, I was hired as a full time Patrol Deputy. I stayed there, resigned my City Marshal position and lasted 2 administration.
