After high school, he spent four years in the U.S. Navy. He graduated from the Rhodes State Police Academy and went to work at the Delphos Police Department. In 2010, Officer Garlock joined the Lima Police Department as a patrolman and member of the SWAT Team. He remained there until coming to the school district.
