How to turn your skills into a Career
asked if making a living outside of Law Enforcement or
public service is possible.
Some people like myself started in the military and Police
at a young age and had no real experience in the job
market as an adult.
I assure you there is a great market for your skills. A lot
of employers gravitate towards retired military and police
because you are conditioned to commitment.
I am not running a recruiting business but if you have
any questions or need advise call me anytime at
210-367-9705 or email matthewjackson@gvtc.com.
I know recruiters that offer their services at no cost to you.

Retired police Sgt. Alfred Trinidad died
Tuesday night, not even a year after his

"It's just, just a tragedy," San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus
told News 4 WOAI. Sgt. Trinidad spent 51 years on the force and
the last two decades working with patrol officers everyday at the
Downtown substation .
"His legacy is one of mentorship, coaching, stability," said Chief
McManus. People who worked closely with Sgt. Trinidad said they
miss seeing him come through the door, offering to help in any way
he could. The 73-year-old had been ill during the last several months
and was in and out of the hospital.
"He was a cornerstone of the department for so long... So many
people looked up to him. So many people. You know? He
mentored so many people," recalls Chief McManus.
Sgt. Trinidad leaves behind his wife of 46 years and two daughters.
He was preceded in death by his son whom he lost in 1998.
