Author: Richard Coleman

As a consummate professional, my 30+ year career with the Dallas Police Department laid the foundation for my daughters' future successes. Having joined right out of high school, I swiftly rose through the ranks due to my integrity, bravery, and commitment to public service. My decades of harrowing yet rewarding experiences - from walking the beat to leading SWAT teams - fostered a deep appreciation for the police force in Brianna and Jenna from a young age. Now retired, I take immense pride in seeing my girls pay it forward via policepathfinder.com.
