Mike served in the California Army National Guard as a Military Police Officer beginning in 1986 until his honorable discharge in 1989. He was sworn in as a police officer for the City of Tustin in July 1988, then joined that Anaheim Police Department in 1990. While serving the Tustin community, he received an award for a large drug bust resulting from a vehicle stop. As a police officer for Anaheim he worked several specialized assignments; K-9, SWAT, Field Training Office, Family Crimes and Sexual Assault Detective Details arresting several sex offenders in our community. He was promoted to sergeant in 2001 and has supervised several specialized assignments; K-9, Under-cover Vice, Burglary and Central District Community Policing Team. He assisted in one of the largest illegal massage parlor operations across the County of Orange which included human trafficking of women.
In 2013, Sgt.

Sgt. Lozeau also created the Homeless Liaison Office (HLO) course and is the only instructor for the Peace Officer Standards Training (POST) for the California Peace Officers’ Associations teaching other police officers how to partner with non-profit organizations to help with outreach and use enforcement as a last resort, always focusing on getting people off the streets into housing.
