Mallard is married with two children, was born in Nevada and moved around frequently grow- ing up. Most of his youth was spent in Caldwell, Idaho. “I was kind of a rambunc- tious kid and got to meet the local police quite a bit growing up,” Mallard said, “With all that being said, I still had this inner desire to serve others.” The character of law enforcement officers Mallard dealt with in his youth rubbed off on him. “I saw something in those men, coming in and out of my life,” Mallard said. “They were protecting me and my family. They were trying to make our world a better place.” Mallard served in the U.S. Navy, later return- ing to Idaho to take his first police job as deputy sheriff in his hometown Caldwell. Mallard said he wants to be an active support in the campus community. “I’ve had such an incred- ibly blessed career, it just seems right to give back to what’s really the next generation of leaders in Two perfomers dance during the Sleeping Lady drum group at the 41st Festival of Native Arts.
