Officer Vernell Ross-Mullin – Stockton Police Department
California National Guard Veteran
I was a full-time member of the California National Guard where I was a single-channel radio communications operator. I have worked in Administration as a Battalion NBC NCO, and Recruiter at CNGHQ. My last assignment was Battalion Logistical NCO.
Several of the soldiers I was working with during my time with the National Guard were police officers who encouraged me to apply with the Stockton Police Department. I found that the salary for a Stockton Police Officer would earn me more than when I was an E-6 with the National Guard. It didn't take me long to figure out that my salary would be double my military pay and it allowed me to settle down and start a family.
