Bruce spent 35 years in law enforcement – 30 years with Torrance Police Department and retired as a Captain. He spent 1 year as Acting Deputy Chief of Police and was responsible for creating many innovative police programs and the justification and overseer of the construction of the current police facility.

He obtained a MPA in Public Administration from the University of Southern California.
