Hello friends and neighbors,
As we enter the holiday season, the Alcala family would like to wish everyone a very memorable, peaceful and safe time with your loved ones. Please travel responsibly and take a moment to look out for one another. This is a busy season on the roads, and everyone deserves to make it home safely.
I also want to share a brief and humble piece of my background for those who may not know my journey in public service. In 2003, I graduated from DOCJT, at Eastern Kentucky University, where I was honored to be chosen by my peers as Class 383 President. I began my law enforcement career with the Mt. Sterling Police Department before attending the Kentucky State Police Academy in 2005, where I again had the privilege of serving as Class Leader for Cadet Class 84.
I spent five years serving Montgomery, Bath, and Menifee Counties with KSP Post 8 Morehead and was recognized as Post 8 Trooper of the Year in 2010. I later worked as a narcotics detective with DESI East, earning Kentucky Narcotics Officer of the Year in 2012. My career led me to partner with the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, where I served in undercover roles and multi states investigations, and from 2019 to 2024 I was assigned to protective security roles for some of Kentucky highest level officials.
Throughout those years, I gained a deep understanding of the challenges, and responsibilities faced by first responders - both on the front lines and in leadership roles. That perspective continues to guide me today. Sheriff Smallwood and I have maintained a strong administrative relationship and we are currently working on solutions that we hope to share soon, always with the best interests of Menifee County at heart.
As we enjoy this holiday season, please know that my commitment remains focused on safety, service, and the well being of our community. We truly appreciate your continued support.
