Since October 2007, Nicole Patterson has been a dedicated Detention Supervisor in Scottsdale. Originally from New York, she's the youngest of eight, with a passion for the Dallas Cowboys, Yankees, and Lakers. A true dog lover, Nicole enjoys life with her 3-year-old red Doberman, Buddy. Snacks are her jam!!! Kelvin Rawlins grew up in Oxnard, California before coming to Arizona in 2005. Sports has always been a passion and played baseball until his junior year in high school and basketball that allowed an opportunity to play at the junior college level, at the Division 1 level (Boise State), and two full seasons in Melbourne, Australia. Later, he developed an interest in the law enforcement profession that gave experience and also worked in the beverage industry prior to moving to Arizona. Once in Arizona, he began a career as a service advisor in the auto industry and hired on with the Scottsdale Police Department in 2007. He worked as a detention officer for about 10 years, promoted to sergeant and eventually detention manager as a lieutenant. The experience and relationships built over the course of his career are those that he will never forget.
