Last week you met Sgt. Vanessa Melendez as she looked back at her academy days, including chemical agent training. But she wasn't alone during that training - among the cadets alongside her in 2013 was Brandon Lugar, whose CDCR career has taken a different trajectory, this time to the Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPO).
Here, Parole Agent Brandon Lugar shares his journey from a cadet at the Richard A. McGee Correctional Training Center to a correctional officer at California State Prison-Sacramento, to a DAPO parole agent committed to keeping communities safe through effective parole supervision.
