Years of Service: 1996-Present

Karl had always been fascinated with law enforcement but when he was attending college, he found that he had a knack for chemistry and math and decided that getting a degree in chemical engineering was the smart way to go. Karl worked at the Idaho National Laboratory for several years but was not fulfilled in what he was doing.

In 1996, Karl became a reserve deputy for the Shelly Police Department and knew he had found his calling. Karl took a substantial pay cut to pursue his dream but said he never regretted making the jump into law enforcement.

In 2005, Karl was hired by the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office and after a short while on patrol was promoted to detective. Karl gravitated toward sexual assault cases but as a detective handled investigations such as domestic violence, fraud, and homicide. Karl used the analytical thinking gained from his chemical engineering degree to investigate his cases and prided himself in taking a different approach to his cases than a traditional detective.

In addition to his detective duties, Karl was also a SWAT negotiator.
Today Karl works as a cold case investigator for the Idaho State Police investigating cases that are in need of a fresh perspective to bring justice for the victims.
