His professional background includes more than 30 years of combined military and public safety service, gained through assignments ranging from frontline operations to command-level leadership.

His educational background reflects a consistent commitment to professional development. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Administration from Columbia Southern University, graduating Magna Cum Laude.

Military service established the foundation for his leadership approach.

In August 2006, Jeb Bozarth of Henderson, NV, began his law enforcement career with the Henderson Police Department. He was assigned to uniformed patrol, where his duties included responding to calls for service, conducting traffic enforcement, and working directly with community members. During this period, he completed Instructor Development training, the Kaminsky Course, and the POST First-Line Supervisor Course. His actions during a critical incident in 2010 earned him the Henderson Police Department Medal of Valor, recognizing sound judgment and decisive action in a dangerous situation.

His career advanced into specialized operations when he was selected for assignment to the department’s SWAT team in 2009. He served in that role until 2014, participating in high-risk warrant service, barricaded-suspect incidents, and coordinating tactical responses.

From 2014 to 2016, Jeb Bozarth was assigned to the Problem Solving Unit, where his work focused on proactive investigations and the suppression of repeat offenders. He authored search warrants related to narcotics trafficking, weapons offenses, fraud, and property crimes, demonstrating careful adherence to investigative standards and constitutional requirements. Beginning in 2016, he served in the Henderson Police Department Training Bureau, instructing officers in incident command, rescue task force operations, emergency vehicle operations, firearms training, active assailant response, and defensive tactics. He was among the first responders to the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting.

Promoted to Sergeant in 2018, he supervised patrol and training operations and later received the Distinguished Service Award in 2020 and the Supervisor of the Year Award in 2022.
