Director of Public Safety Training and Outreach
Brittney has more than 14 years of law enforcement and leadership experience. Prior to joining PAARI, Brittney most recently served as the Administrative Commander/Major for the Jeffersontown Police Department in Kentucky. Her duties included managing the department budget and asset forfeiture, communications, civilian personnel, information technology, policies and procedures, grants, and community projects. Preceding this role, she worked the beginning of her career as a patrol officer and later as an Administrative Sergeant.
In 2016, Brittney developed the first Angel Program in Kentucky at the Jeffersontown Police Department. This innovative program was modeled after the original Gloucester program to connect persons struggling with addiction to treatment resources in lieu of arrest. Since this program’s beginning, the model has spread across Kentucky to all State Police posts and numerous police departments.
Brittney also established the department’s first Victim Services Program in 2019. The success of this program and the continued need to help those suffering from addiction and mental illness ultimately led to the expansion of Victim Services to a Community Resource Unit, including adding an additional social services worker to expand the efforts of the Angel Program.
Brittney has presented at numerous national conferences and events, including the US Senate Opioid Roundtable, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) Conference on Responding to the Opioid Epidemic, the PAARI Law Enforcement Summit, the Cocaine, Meth & Stimulant Summit, and the IACP DAID Conference.
Brittney previously served as a National Police Council Member for the Police Assisted Addiction Recovery Initiative (PAARI) and currently serves on the VAWA Implementation Plan Planning Committee for the state of Kentucky. She has received a 2017 PAARI Leadership Award, the 2016 Jeffersontown Police Officer of the Year Award, and a 2018 Louisville Business First Forty Under 40 award.
Brittney received her Bachelor’s Degree in Justice Administration from the University of Louisville and her Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Colorado State University-Global Campus. She has also received certificates from the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) Academy of Police Supervision, the DOCJT Criminal Justice Executive Development Course, and 200-hour Power Yoga Teacher Training.
