Jose H Irizarry III
Vice President
Latino Officers Association Florida


Welcome statement & Bio:

   I became Vice President of the LOA-FLA in January 2008. I am proud to be a member of the
LOA family where I can promote Latino growth, tolerance, acceptance and recruitment in the
Florida Criminal Justice Community.

I began my law enforcement career by enrolling in the part-time police academy at Daytona
Beach Community College in March of 1999 and earned my Associate in Arts the same year
while at the academy. In April of 2000 I was hired as a patrol officer for the city of Mount Dora
Police Department and earned a promotion to the rank of corporal in 2005. I currently hold a
bachelors degree (BA) in Criminal Justice Administration and am currently enrolled as a
graduate student at California University of PA where I will earn a masters degree (MS) in Legal
Studies with a minor in Homeland Security.

   I am thirty-one (31) years old and currently married to a supportive New Yorican wife. I have 1
five-year old daughter. I am also the son of Iraq combat veteran Dr. Jose Irizarry II.
