  • Lieutenant Dave Dereszynski, Huntington Beach Police Department

    Lieutenant Dereszynski has been with the Huntington Beach Police Department for 23 years and started his career as an explorer with City. Early on in his career he was guided by others who helped him to navigate the challenges of the profession. He followed their advice and continued to grow, ultimately working a variety of assignments and contributing to the community. Seeing the value of sharing ideas in a constructive manner, he facilitated several leadership and development seminars where local leaders were panelists. This sparked the interest of others who continued to carry the torch for employee growth and development. Two years ago he was part of a team who implemented a Professional Development Program with Mentoring and Sponsorship (onboarding) components. The program has been in place for over one year now and has had some great successes. He looks to spark a “growth mindset” in others so the practice becomes engrained in the Huntington Beach Police Department culture.

  • Detective Tim Emanuel, Huntington Beach Police Department

    Detective Tim Emanuel has worked for Huntington Beach Police Dept. since 2006 and presently teaches Criminal Justice courses at a local community college. He was fortunate to have served in the U.S. Marine Corps and became interested in the study and application of effective leadership skills after deployments abroad afforded him the opportunity to be mentored by senior Marines. During his career with HBPD, he has been positively influenced by many officers and leaders throughout the agency. Most recently, he collaborated with a small team of sworn and civilian program coordinators to design and launch the HBPD Professional Development Program.
