These skills can be learned on a job through training and experience, but they are also thought in college through homework, exercises, communication with other students, and required reading material by professors.

I grew-up watching my father advance himself to the rank of Colonel in the Marine Corps. It was because of him I developed a strong desire to be part of a brotherhood.

Police officers are responsible for protecting people and property. Related job titles include Sheriffs and sheriffs deputy, detectives, and state police officers. However all of these job titles have similar duties for example they are all responsible for the protection of people and property. These job titles might be very similar but they do differ in many ways. Police officers patrol the city issuing citations keeping the peace and conduct traffic stops. Sheriff 's and deputies hold practically the same duties as police officers but do so for the entire county. A state police officer could also be addressed as a state trooper. These officers usually patrol highways and issue citations and are frequently called for comprehensive law enforcement services. Detective is the title that differs from the others the most. Detectives aren 't in uniform. They investigate crime scenes and find evidence for criminal cases. Detectives conduct interviews, observe activities of suspects, and also participate in raids.

And that is because of the lack of insecurity that I and my family felt while living in Mexico for 12 years. Being young and listening to all the violence that was going on even a few streets away from home definitely affected me while growing up. My worst experience was when I saw my mom coming home shaking and crying because she had
