I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Special Agent Perez gave the Florida Department of Law Enforcement 30 years.
Thank you for your service to the Tallahassee community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
