Criminal Law Enforcement Cover Letter

My desire for a career in law enforcement started while pursuing my undergraduate degree at the University of Central Florida. As a freshman biology major with hopes of becoming a Radiologist, it did not take me long to realize the medical field was not for me. Peers in my classes had a passion and interest for the material that I did not possess. My grades poorly reflected the type of student I was. Realizing it was time for a change, at the end of my sophomore year I started seeking guidance. Unbeknownst to me, my disinterest in the curriculum was a major contribution to my poor performance. I completed career assessments and sat with academic counselors in several different areas of study. I was feeling more confused than ever because Criminal Justice courses often sparked my interest, but I hesitated due to the dangerous nature of police work.

8.1 Why should we pick you over other applicants? (( 50 words+ )): Well, I would start off with me having always the thought in my mind - To serve and protect! That helps me give potential to go through dark times and better times in the LSPD. With me, being a driver and also trained to shoot, I do really belive I can handle situations and help other officers to handle theirs, speaking of chases and so on.

I am a highly committed, loyal, enthusiastic, hard-working and persevering individual. I enjoy physical and mental tasks that challenge me and encourage me to handle an out of the box approach. For the Youth In Policing Summer Initiative, I will bring my strong communication skills, my ability to work independently and within a team environment, my active and outgoing personality along with my willingness to learn and provide a valuable service to our

To work in the field of criminal justice, whether with rehabilitating offenders or in research analysis, has always been a goal of mine stemming from the beginning of my undergraduate studies at Lakeland University. It is in the Reentry Unit of the Department of Corrections, that there is the emphasis to work with offenders in order to reduce recidivism with the focus of providing support in educational programming, skill building, and goal planning to prepare offenders for community reintegration. Overall, the Reentry Unit of correctional system is an integral portion that provides a pathway for offenders to reintegrate.

Your recent posting indicates that the University of Saskatchewan is seeking a formal report writer who is "responsible for conducting research and then writing quality formal reports."

With graduation drawing near I am excited and ready to put my Agricultural Science degree to use in an industry that I am extremely passionate about. Throughout my time at Cal Poly, I have been working for the San Luis Obispo Police Department as a Student Neighborhood Assistant Program Officer. Before I began working at San Luis Obispo Police Department I had always planned on a career in law enforcement, but with graduation quickly approaching I am not certain that is the career path I am meant to take especially with the public's perspective of peace officers today. I can say that during my time with the San Luis Obispo Police Department, I have gained an immense amount of skills through first hand experiences such as organization, leadership,

When I decided to attend law school to pursue my life’s mission of working as attorney providing representation to those who lack adequate representation and have been wrongfully accused or wrongfully convicted studying law, I compiled a list of qualities that I was seeking in a law school. These included the ability for me to continue my involvement in Mock Trial/Moot Court hand-on learning experience, working in a Criminal Defense or Innocence Project clinic, becoming a member of the law review, and taking courses that focused on criminal procedure and causes of wrongful convictions. West Virginia Law embodies each and every one of these qualities. I hopeful during my studies at West Virginia Law that I will have the opportunity to take the Crime Film Documentaries course taught this fall by Professor Elkins and the Psychology for Lawyers course taught by Professor Elkins this past spring. I am especially intrigued by the focus of the documentaries course on the “shadow” cast on our criminal justice system due to faulty police investigations,

I began my career in law enforcement as a Campus Police Officer in Edmond, Oklahoma. People I respected highly recommended Broken Arrow to be a department to consider for the future. Upon inquiry the professionalism and community support made Broken Arrow the obvious choice. I have had the honor and privilege to serve this community for 23 years. The support today from our citizens is at an all-time high. My career has spanned every rank up to my current position as Deputy Chief of Police for the last 6 years. I am now ready to lead this department and give back to the city that has given me countless professional and personal opportunities.

A job as a DST means learning from the best that the lasd has to offer and using that knowledge to perform all duties, expected by a dst, to keep the peace and enforce the law. The path of a DST is a journey that will bring positive change to my life and positive change to others. As a DST I will strive to live with a stronger sense of virtue and positivity. As a DST, I also hope to radiate the spirit of the LASD Core values and Creed, inspiring others to live a honest and lawful life. This job will be an opportunity to prove and improve myself. A career in the Los Angeles Sheriff Department will be a life changing journey that I aspire to

I am writing to express my strong interest in working at the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) as an Investigative Assistant Supervisor. Since I was first hired as an Investigative Assistant at NICB in 2013, I have been working towards my goal of transitioning into a leadership role. I am a highly capable and experienced Investigative Assistant with a recognized track record of exemplary performance.

I am respectfully writing this memo in regards to the recent specialty unit opportunity. I would like to express my current interest in becoming a Gang Unit Officer with the City of Tulare. As a patrol officer, I have had the opportunity to be a part of Gang details which lead to multiple arrests. I have also been a part of gang investigations and at times I am requested to conduct vehicle stops for officers within the Gang Unit. I understand the rise of Gang violence and I would like expand my career with the Tulare Police Department in focusing on the Gang activity.

As an officer at Houston Police Department in patrol operations, I was assigned to the Westside Patrol Division, Westside Command Station. My area of responsibility was comprised diverse, blue collar communities of people from Southeast Asian, Hispanic, African-American, Pacific Island, and Middle Eastern origin. These communities, with their vast differences in language, culture, religious tolerances, customs, courtesies, and perceptions, offered unique challenges to law enforcement, along with their youth in varying stages of cultural transition and assimilation. One of my proudest achievements during this time was the trust that I developed with the local Vietnamese community and being able to educate the community on the role, authority, and the limits of law enforcement power. The darkest moments of this time was my involvement in two officers involved shootings, both fatal. However, these incidents brought pivotal change to me on a personal level. These events led me to be a more efficient and cautious Homicide Investigator when conducting officer involved shooting investigations, and to seek training in courses such as Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Debriefings, Compassionate Care, and other courses to aid my fellow law enforcement officers in issues related to Post-Traumatic Stress, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Vicarious Trauma, and

The field of criminology has many paths to take to build a career. Some people study criminology to become local or federal police officers and arrest offenders. Other people study criminology to help offenders and advocate for their justice and wellness. I have chosen to study the federal side of criminology with a concentration in Homeland Security. With The Department of Homeland Security being born in 2002 this discipline is fairly new but it has made a true impact in our society. Criminology as a discipline will be understood through the exploration of scholars and organizations.

I would be a great addition to the KIPD because I have a good sense of roleplay (as I stated previously about all of my past roleplay experience). I value teamwork a lot and enjoy making things happen with my team, because in my opinion teamplay is the most important thing about being a successful, cooperating department. I can handle pretty much every situation without raging or otherwise acting incompetent; keeping it cool even during the most intense standoff is the key to becoming a brilliant roleplayer overall, especially an officer.
