About Omar Waite

I provide expert policing services to my organization and do so by providing expert attention to making sure that nothing is left unobserved when I am on post. I also provide excellent knowledge of legal services to assist with any issues that may affect the organization I work for from a legal standpoint. With my knowledge on the use of a firearm, and other weapons and tools, I ensure the safety of both myself, visitors, and my fellow co-workers and staff within my specific museum. Knowing of the crimes as outlined under DC Criminal Code as well as primarily criminal laws that should be followed in DC and the immediate DC area primarily, and in and around my museum, I know of the several many rules that must be followed to keep my organization and my unit free of crime at all times.
