Morning America, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! After Dale and his wife settled in Louisville, he trained two German Shepherds as search and rescue dogs, and eventually began working with his dogs for FEMA and other agencies at crime scenes alongside police officers. This sparked an interest in police work, and he entered the academy of the Louisville Metro Police Department in November 2009, graduating and becoming an officer in June 2010. He and his wife have three daughters, the youngest of whom was born while he was in the academy. On May 17, 2012, Dale was involved in a shooting. Dale was working a crime scene at an earlier quadruple shooting at the intersection of 32nd and Kentucky streets that left four men dead and several others wounded. An armed woman, Cheetara Goldsmith, shot and killed another woman, Makeba Lee, nearby. Dale shot Goldsmith after she refused to comply with police commands to drop the gun, and pointed it towards police. The shooting was determined by the district attorney to be "justified as self‐defense as well as defense of others." Goldsmith was later convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Dale received the LMPD Distinguished Lifesaving Award at the department's 2012 awards banquet. He received the award for saving his young daughter's life performing CPR on her after she suffered a seizure just before Christmas 2011. In 2014, Dale joined the LMPD SWAT Unit while also serving on the VIPER Unit. In early 2015, Dale joined the United States Marshal Service as a Fugitive Task Force officer. After several years with the US Marshals Service, Dale returned to Louisville Metro Police and was appointed as police spokesman by the Chief of Police. He also assisted the Louisville Metro Police Training Division with training recruits in advanced driving skills, pursuit driving and evasive driving.
