Background

About Michael Strickler

I am a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, having served honorably for 20 years. I retired from active duty and am now pursuing a career in law enforcement in Texas. As a Technical Sergeant, I successfully supervised teams of 20+ military personnel, ensuring mission success, operational excellence, and the highest standards of discipline. Throughout my career, I was stationed at Robins Air Force Base (Georgia), McChord Air Force Base (Washington State), and Holloman Air Force Base (New Mexico). While stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, I was a member of the prestigious Phoenix Raven program, providing specialized security for aircraft in high-threat environments worldwide. During my military career, I completed seven overseas deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Highlights of my deployments include: Iraq (Baghdad): Conducted airport and Air Force property security in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Afghanistan (Bagram): Performed law enforcement duties in support of United States Army operations. Throughout my 20 years of service, I served as a Security Forces member, gaining extensive experience in law enforcement, security operations, leadership, and team management in high-pressure and dynamic environments. I am passionate about continuing to serve my community and look forward to applying my skills, leadership, and commitment to excellence in a civilian law enforcement career.
