Core Beliefs My biological father was never a part of my life growing up. I was fortunate to have my Grandfather and my Uncle in my life. I shudder to think about how I would have ended up, had they not been a part of my development. A few years ago, I was forced to look at myself in a far deeper manner than I had ever done before. My biological father decided that after almost 50 years he wanted to be a part of my life. This experience made me look at who I am and why I believe the things that I do. This unwelcome interaction with him was a painful and uncomfortable struggle for me. Many unpleasant memories came to the surface. More importantly, it forced me to look at why I do the things that I do and why I believe certain others. My belief system has guided my life. It was not until I began to peel back the layers of my non-existent relationship with my father that I began to understand what drives me. I live a life motivated by family, accountability, honor, and defense of those who cannot defend themselves.
I grew up in a small town in eastern North Carolina. As an adult, I went into law enforcement. I have served in various roles including State Drug Enforcement Agent, Chief Investigator, and Chief Deputy. I grew tired of the politics as a Chief Deputy and went to work for a public safety software company. My job allows me an opportunity to interact with law enforcement agencies across the country. Work is fun because it does not feel like work to me. Years ago, I
Father, we approach you in humility, in awe of your never ending love for us. It's In this love that you have called us to know you, led us to trust you, and bound our life with yours. We rejoice with Camille and the Gibson family this morning as she has made the decision to commit her life to Christ and given him the reins to lead her down life's journey.
Also I enjoy the various jobs that Law Enforcement proposes; you get to learn something new every day. Becoming a Police Officer offers new challenges daily and there are few career fields more challenging than Law

Throughout my life I never really had parents; coming home to a drug abuser who was constantly zoned out was a normal day. I wasn't loved or even thought of as a child. My biological parents never once came to my awards or conferences. I used to lie to my childhood friends and say that my parents had to constantly work. In reality they didn't care at all.As a child I had both of my parents; when I grew up everything collapsed. I was in 7th grade when I realized that my life would change dramatically. My biological mother fell deeply into drugs, as for my biological father he left without saying anything. At the age of 12 , I was placed with a family friend, while my biological mother was in rehabilitation.
A phenomenal, strong, and intelligent woman. I introduce myself in such ways because I am a daddyless daughter, however being a daddy-less daughter does not define who I am. It does not take away the hard work, and achievements I have encountered in my 20 years of living.
I remember it like it was yesterday. It was in a park, bright and sunny out , I was feeling every kind of emotion there was to feel. I didn’t know what to expect or how I was going to react. My mom was right next to me looking calm as ever. How did she do it? Suddenly, I see a car pull up and a taller, muscular man steps out. That’s the very first time I met my biological dad.
As a child, I always wanted a career enforcing the law. Weather it was with the police department or criminal justice was undecided at that time. As I grew older I pulled more to the fence of criminal justice. Simply because I do not like the way the system is set up.
There are many different career paths that make up the professional field of Law Enforcement in this country and around the world. It has been a dream of mine to be part something that is bigger than myself, that offers the opportunity to help the community I live in. To me, Law Enforcement offers me that chance. It is also the closest thing to the military that I believe will allow me to put to use what I have learned and experienced from my time in the U.S. Army. Finding the right fit for my skills and knowledge is a challenge that I look forward to. The research into the different fields of Law Enforcement provided me with a better sense of what I have to look forward to and what I believe to be the
I believe in my shotgun, because it teaches me that I can find success by overcoming the challenges that come my way.
I chose law enforcement, because it is all that I grew up around it all my live and I have always found it very interesting. Once I am old enough to I plan on enrolling in to the police academe. I know some of the things you have to do, are to complete a physical training test to completely pass the academe, but that is all I know with academe besides the basics of learning of what to do as a officer. I have an idea of what police officers do, they will run drug and drunken test. As a cop you make or get warrants to search though peoples house, vehicles or anything that you think you need to search that item that person owns. Some cops have to attend court to sometimes to report on the case or other times just there to put the person in jail if they are convicted guilty by the judge and the jury. You have cop on patrol, drug task force and on the warrants division.
What draws me to law enforcement was the interaction I had with police officers on daily basis as a small child. I can remember them taking me outside of a business that was ran by my family and letting me set in their patrol car and being great role models for me as I got older those role models played a more important role through my teenage years steering me toward good decisions and staying out of trouble it is that life experience that draws me to law enforcement for the potential to help some who needs help or be a positive influence on some who is starting on the wrong path . I want to be in some form of law enforcement to be able to at least try to make a difference in my community and know that at the end of my shift I gave my 100
The reason I want to be involved in law enforcement is the diversification of the career field. I learned that inside of law enforcement I will have the opportunity to save or change someones life on a daily basis. Then being grateful that I possibly saved someones life just by my mere presence in a area or certain situation. The key thing with law enforcement to me is community policing, the factor that allows people to smile when they see a patrol car in there area. I am willing to accept the challenge that it is my responsibility to protect and sever my community. The place that is not only my community but is also home which I will protect as someone
I remember the first time that I knew Leila was different from me. Her skin more caramel, features darker than both my mom and dad. My parents were more distant with Leila than they were with me, but I never knew why. They weren’t that affectionate to begin with, but I never remember them hugging, kissing, or saying I love you to Leila. So, one day, I asked Leila why she looked nothing like me.
Some would call criminal justice a career or profession. I do not. I have been called into this world by God. My entire life has been standing up for the underdog, fighting battles, and excelling in the face of challenges. Many influences both internal and external have led me to do this work I love.
"Never forget the past…because it may haunt you forever. Regret all the bad things…cherish the good things. Look ahead always…but don't let the bad things from the past get in your mind." As a young child, there were so many incidents in my life that made me become the person I am today. There were rough times as well as good times. If I were to tell you all of them, I would remember half of them. I think some of my incidents really had some impact, and some were just simple ways of life. To tell you the truth, the incident that had the most impact on me has to be when my real father left me at the age of three. I never knew my father. I mean being a baby, you really have no experience or recognition of somebody else.
