HOW DOES OCBP RATE IN TERMS OF SUMMER JOBS? It's such a grat job. You're out here not just to protect people, but you have to be a real people person. 

DUMBEST QUESTION SOMEONE ASKED YOU WHILE ON THE STAND: My rookie year I was on Surf Road and I had a couple people come up and ask me if Atlantic City (which you can see from there) was New York City.

CLOSEST CALL THAT STICKS IN YOUR MEMORY: On 15th Street, a guy OD'd on pain medication. His girlfriend was also impaired. He was completely coded and we had to get an ambulance.

WHO WOULD PLAY YOU IN A SITCOM ABOUT YOU AND OCBP: Paul Walker from “Fast and Furious”
