Hollywood Sergeant Patton (retired)

(Retired) Sergeant Alan Patton grew up in Grand Prairie.  He went to SGPHS where he played numerous sports.  After school, he joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) where he served in Vietnam.  After his two stints in the military, he joined GPPD in August 1980.  He worked patrol and then became a detective.  He was promoted to Sergeant in 1998 and became the Major Crimes Supervisor where he supervised the investigations of assaults, homicides, and other person-related crimes.   

He went to Internal Affairs (IA) in 2008 and later retired in August 2012.  Since retiring after 32 years in Law Enforcement,  he has stayed busy and often dabbles in police work as a consultant, doing criminal case studies, and helping with investigations.  

He shares some interesting stories of his time and speaks of his near-death experiences as an officer which sent him to the hospital for many days.
