Forty-year old Travis W. Bruyer grew up in Kalispell, Montana and have maintained small town values. After graduating from Flathead High in 1988, he attended a Bible College in Minnesota, but later enlisted in the United States Coast Guard in 1991 as he desired to serve and protect our countries boarders.

In 1996 he was honorably discharged from the service, and attended the Flathead Community College where he studied criminal justice and desired to be a part of the criminal justice system. During that time he was employed by the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office as a Juvenile Detention Officer and later worked in Adult Detention for four years before being hired by the City of Helena as a Police Officer in 2001.

In 2003, a position for Deputy Sheriff came available and he was hired in March of that same year. Travis strive to further not only my own knowledge in my field, but as an instructor in many law enforcement disciplines. He has a wonderful working relationship with law enforcement across the State for the countless hours he has put forth in training to make officers and communities safer.

Travis and his wife of three years Kristi have one son, Tucker, who is two years old; and we are expecting a daughter in April.

One of the activities he is most proud of is his work in the area of alcohol education and prevention. In 2005 he coordinated an Underage Drinking Task Force in Kalispell Montana and began an all out assault on those that provide alcohol to minors and those minors that posses alcohol illegally. When not on Patrol, he spends time speaking to communities about how and why it is important to enforce these issues in their towns.
