My Biography

I'm Cody, a full-time Police Sergeant with over two decades of comprehensive experience in law enforcement. Currently, my role involves serving as a Police Academy Supervisor, where I guide and mentor new recruits through the rigorous training program mandated by Colorado POST. Prior to my career in law enforcement, I served in the United States Coast Guard. During my tenure aboard the USCGC Midgett, stationed in Seattle, WA, I held the positions of Boatswain's Mate of The Watch and Boarding Team Member. Throughout my service, I participated in numerous high-stakes missions, including drug interdiction operations and search and rescue missions, involving the boarding of various vessels.

In addition to my law enforcement duties, I am the voice of the Bearded Monkey Podcast, a platform featured on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, where I engage with listeners on various topics.

Outside of my professional duties, I share my life with my wife, Lasamoa, and am blessed with two wonderful daughters, Mikayla and Ashlynn. Additionally, our household includes an affectionate American Pit Bull Terrier (Dublin), who brings joy and companionship to our family.
