I remember while driving around on a ride along, people were waving to the officers. To see the connection and trust between the officers and citizens was amazing. I have never seen anything like it. The biggest memory I had was driving past Buchanan and thinking this had to be some sort of division 1 college football stadium. Little did I know, it was just a high school and all of the schools around Clovis took sports very seriously. I learned quick how amazing Clovis was and knew this was where I wanted to raise a family and call home.”
