Military Police Officer Achievements

The career chosen has interested me for many years now. I wish to serve my country and defend our freedom from whatever the threat may be. Many men and women have done the same as I wish to do, lay down their own life for something bigger. This job will allow me to have a real purpose in life and yet may be dangerous but never boring.

The accomplishment of the mission and the welfare of ones Soldiers. These two basic responsibilities are at the heart of what it is to be a Non Commissioned Officer. They are in essence the yardstick in which to measure the success on an NCO. However, there is more to being an NCO than just ensuring the mission is accomplished and ones Soldiers are taken care of both on and off duty. There are three major principles, which define Leadership, Purpose, Motivation and Direction. (ADP 6-22, 2012) Not only does a Non Commissioned Officer need to provide these three things in order to accomplish the mission and take care of their Soldiers, but the Non Commissioned Officer also needs purpose, direction and motivation from his Superiors. Without

In reviewing the performance of a police officer we often find that supervisors choose to use easy methods of ratings that are outdated and often have little impact on the organizational goals that we are seeking to achieve. Supervisors often seek to quantify officer performance by using the number of tickets they issued or how many individuals they arrested in their performance review, but often these numbers only review levels of enforcement and not actions that respond to the causes of crime (Peak, Gaines, & Glensor, 2009). If we simply review the number of police actions that are taken we are unable to effectively account for the reasons why some officers have more citations or arrests than others. The reason why an officer has lower numbers

Why I want to continue my career in the Law Enforcement profession. As a young man growing up in Hamilton, Ohio I always admired my uncle who served as a law enforcement officer that influenced me for my career choice. I know going to college at this time in my life was not a practical choice for me and I needed some structure in my life and experience to achieve this goal. However, serving my country would provide me the experience, tools, and mature me for this type of career. The opportunity to serve my country honorably for 20 years as a Military Policeman in the United States Armed Forces and continue this type of selfless service as a private contractor not only provided me the skill set for this type of career, but enable me to travel

It gives me a leg up on other applicants for police jobs that only have a degree or military training. With both military training and a degree, the only competition for a job is someone with both military training and degree like me or someone who already is a police officer and is looking to move somewhere else. The job outlook for future police jobs looks good because as the population increases every year, the criminal element increases as well resulting in more police officers needed to deal with the increase in crime. This increase in police jobs also means there are more openings for advancement to higher level police jobs such as Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) or a police dog handler (K-9 Unit). Both of these police jobs appeal to me and would be the pinnacle of my career, only barely being beaten by becoming a SWAT Commander or a Police Chief. Getting either a SWAT or K-9 Officer job is going to be tough because these two higher level police jobs are the most sought after by police officers, especially those officers that are ex-military as in the case of SWAT. In order to get a SWAT or K-9 job, I plan on showing them I am the best person for the job. I am working on this even now by keeping up with my physical training by working out twice a day. I go to the gym for two hours in the morning and then in the evening, doing sprint drills

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,

Becoming a Police Officer has been my dream for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I always wanted to see what was going on when the flashing lights and sirens raced past my house. As I grew up, I realized I possessed a strong desire to help others and to become someone who served my community in a way that would make my family and me proud. My desire from a very young age to become a Police Officer has influenced choices and decisions I have made and contributed significantly toward shaping me into the person I am now.

I was an army man, and was going to try to become a Green Beret, but after the incident, I decided that I would come back to the ‘States and become a prosecutor.

Former US representative, Our nation's military and law enforcement personnel work hard to protect us. We must thank them for their continued vigilance. Without their sacrifice we would less capable of protecting our nation. when I was little I was never really sure what i wanted to be in life.

The Warrant Officer Corp has a long military history of producing subject matter experts in various technical fields. These Soldiers have been sought out by higher leadership to provide recommendations and expertise knowledge on specific topics. As the future of the Army continues to change, so does the Warrant Officer Corp. The traditional Warrant Officer is now experiencing a multitude of changes to include becoming immaterial. According to Merriam-Webster, the word immaterial is defined as “not important or significant.” The idea of a subject matter expert becoming less important to the Army is alarming and causing concern amongst the ranks. Senior staff members are already aware that Warrant Officers are subject matter experts, therefore they want to incorporate them into future leaders serving on their team. To accept and conquer change we must look at the past so we can better understand our relevance for the future.

However, In May of 2007, I decided to pursue my second goal of Criminal Justice. I applid for Philadelphia Police Department in June 2007 and was hired in December 2007. It was the best decision I’ve made in my life. I love everything there is to know about law enforcement. Being a police officer knowing that I’m trying to make a difference in the community of people around me is awesome. When I graduated from the academy Commissioner Charles Ramsey started his career at the Philadelphia Police Department. Commissioner Ramsey first project was implemented the community policing. My class was the first class to do the foot beats in the communities with the most crime areas. That experience gave me the chance to learn the community and the

At age four I knew that I would someday serve in the Armed Forces. I primarily focused on serving in the Army but had a few distractions through the years. During the summer between my junior and senior year of high school, I decided it was time to talk to an Army recruiter and evaluate my options. My only desire was to join the Army; I had not given much thought to what exactly in the Army I would like to do. I had no idea or conception of an opportunity to serve in a position on the Army Staff at the Pentagon. After 19 years of service I was given just that opportunity. While very stressful and a demanding work environment, Army Retention Operations was a valuable learning and growing experience where I gained a strategic perspective of the Army through interaction with other governmental agencies and was able to influence Army Retention policy.

Rather, I have learned from my mistakes and any bad decisions I’ve made over the years and expanding my knowledge of the consequences to bad decision making. This is the point in my life that defined me as an individual. Through experience, I’ve learned the best route is the truthful one, no matter how difficult telling the truth made if for me. After high school I started Jr. College and began majoring in Criminal Justice. But, I did not complete school to obtain my degree. In time, I joined the United States Marine Corps. There they help enhanced my decision making skills, leadership abilities, and helped me grow as a man. After serving on active duty I worked in the corporate world and joined the Marine Corp reserves. It wasn’t until after a few deployments to Iraq I decided to finally get focused on my career in law enforcement by attending the Hillsborough Community College Police Academy and continuing my education there by working on my A.A.S. Degree in Criminal Justice there as well. I do plan on expanding on that by getting a Bachelor’s degree at U.S.F.
