As Law Enforcement and Military Sales Manager, Stafford will have responsibility for all the company’s sales operations into the law enforcement and military markets and will report directly to Vice President of Sales and Marketing, John MacLellan.

Stafford has over three decades of law enforcement and military experience. Stafford spent 13 years in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and United States Marine Core Reserves (USMCR) with deployments to Iraq, Northern Africa and Southeast Asia. During his time in the USMC, Stafford served as a Civil Affairs Team Chief where he worked to reconstruct the Iraqi police forces – it was during this time he was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor. Concurrent with his USMCR duties, Stafford joined the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) where he spent 25 years serving in multiple roles, such as, Patrol Officer, Undercover Investigator, Counter-Terrorism Investigator, and Firearms Subject Matter Expert. During his time at LAPD, Stafford also worked as a writer, host and contributor for the Outdoor Sportsman Group – most recently as the Handgun Editor for Guns & Ammo Magazine.

“Jeremy will be a tremendous asset to the Mossberg team as he brings a wealth of firearms knowledge and experience,” said John MacLellan, Mossberg’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Jeremy’s deep understanding of law enforcement and military professionals will be instrumental in aligning Mossberg to meet our goals of better serving the law enforcement and military communities.”

“I am deeply honored to join such an iconic brand,” said Stafford. “Having personally depended on Mossberg products in hard use environments, I’m excited for the opportunity to develop new customers in the Law Enforcement and Military marketplace.”

Stafford will be based out of his home in Southern California.
