Instructor: 

Corporal Bruce Parent is a twenty year veteran of Law Enforcement, and is currently employed by Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office since May of 2001. He is assigned to the Traffic Division, Commercial Motor Vehicle Unit. He is one of three Deputies from Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office that are cross trained as acting agents for Florida Department of Transportation Office Motor Carrier Compliance. He is responsible for enforcing all State, and Federal laws pertaining to Commercial Motor Vehicles as well as regular duties as a Deputy Sheriff.  Parent is a State certified instructor, Field Training Officer (FTO) and adjunct instructor for the Training Division; duties include all high liability areas, firearms, driving, first responder.

Prior to Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Parent was employed by the State of Florida as an Officer for the Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Compliance for fourteen years in the Miami area. This is where his passion for criminal patrol began. In the late 80’s and early 90’s he began making large seizures (cocaine, marijuana, meth, and money) in tractor trailers.

In 1999, his teaching partner (Robbie Bishop) from Georgia was shot in the head on a traffic stop. The shooter was a small time drug dealer from upstate New York. Parent now devotes most of his time to training other officers in vehicle stops and looking beyond the traffic infraction. He has trained thousands of Federal, State, and Municipal Law Enforcement Officers throughout United States.
