Law Enforcement Background | Erik Swenk

Family example, academy leadership, and respect for the men and women who keep communities safe.

I often get asked what shaped my desire to serve and uphold justice fairly in our community. For me, it starts with family.

My father served proudly with the Orlando Police Department for 28 years, retiring as a Master Police Officer. His dedication to public service left a lasting impression and helped set my own path.

In 2012, I attended the Law Enforcement Academy at Seminole State College, graduating at the top of my class as Squad Leader and receiving a commendation from the Director. That experience strengthened my respect for the officers who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe.

Service, integrity, and compassion remain at the heart of how I try to show up for Seminole County.
