He served in several capacities within the organization, including K-9 Officer, Uniformed Crime Investigator, firearms instructor, and as a member of the Blue Light Task Force. Officer Eisert cherished the time he spent as a K-9 Officer, and made numerous significant arrests with his partner “Taz.”

Prior to joining the Port St. Lucie Police Department, Officer Eisert served with the United States Navy for four years, rising to the rank of supervisor. He also served in the United States Naval Reserve.
A devoted husband and father, Tom enjoyed spending time with his family and was a VW enthusiast and avid motorcyclist.
