My Dream Road To Become A Police Officer

This book also offers a chapter on the pros and cons of becoming an officer. In general, it has information on how to become an officer. The book also sheds light on the inner world of police officers, how officers will protect their own--even if that individual is wrong. There is also a chapter on the traits an individual should have to better function as an officer. I will use this source to build on the "initial entry" of my outline. I will also be able to extract information for the "requirements" section of my

Becoming a police officer takes a lot of heart and determination. To become a police officer you must obtain a high school diploma or GED, pass the law enforcement entrance exam, graduate from the police academy and work towards promotion. In order to graduate from the police academy recruits must undergo 21 weeks of intense training. At the police academy recruits will learn all the following: state laws, criminal investigations, patrol procedures, firearms training, traffic control, defense driving, self-defense, first aid and computer skills (“An Overview of Police Academy Training”). The final step before graduating from the police academy recruits will take the Oath of Honor. “On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold the constitution, my community and the agency I serve” (“What Is The Law Enforcement Oath of

During the first phases of the police professionalism movement in the early twentieth century, training came to be viewed as a promising means to develop more responsible officers and agencies (Klinger,2012). Conversely, due to the progression of society and emerging of technologies, training has become a basis of American policing as it as it enables and educates enough to carry out their duties in a fair, effective, and lawful manner (Klinger, 2012). This education comes in a formal academy that teaches them all they will know is a matter of months. Once this phase is completed, they are then put out on an apprenticeship with a seasoned officer to learn the tips and tricks of the trade in the real world. Once this phase is completed and successfully passed, they are then granted the title of police officer. Many of the topics and task in the academy are repetitive and mundane; however, there are very important topics that the officers learn

This program prepares students to perform the duties of police and public security officers, including traffic control, patrol and investigative activities, crowd control, and public relations. It also prepares students in areas such as evidence collection and management, witness interviewing, basic crime prevention methods, weapon and equipment operation and maintenance, report preparation, and other routine law enforcement

Hey Alex, Congratulation on graduating from Herzing University with your Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and joining the law enforcement family as a Deputy Sheriff’s. As, I understand Alex, you just finished the Sheriff Department Training Academy and will be beginning your career patrolling the north end of the city on the night shift. Alex, some of the important things to remember when you are patrolling your area are citizen’s civil rights, defenses to civil litigation, the elements of managing risk on the job and how your decision could make a positive or negative impact in someone else life.

This course fits in with my other courses because I am in the criminal justice field, which serves the public. It is a course that I need to better improve the skills I have been taught throughout my journey at NAU. It will help me have a better understanding of how I can be more successful at my job in public administration. Working with the public requires a different and unique skill set than many other jobs, therefore learning more about myself as a leader, person, and employee will allow me to better serve the people. My core courses all involved learning the criminal justice process, terms, and information, to gain the knowledge needed to graduate in this particular subject. This course will help me combine my knowledge obtained from my previous courses and help me to utilize them in the real world of public administration. It is not just about knowing the information about your particular field, but being able to work productively in a work environment that requires you to work with the public and have the proper communication skills to achieve your wanted end result. This course will help enhance my ability to apply for a job, get the job, and succeed at that job.

In the year of 2012 on November 29th was the induction ceremony for the new Philadelphia Police Explorer cadets. I had surpassed the physical and mental tests and even aced my interview with director of the program Corporal Coyle. From there on I started and completed the most challenging experience of my life. The Philadelphia Police Explorers program is set up to teach police training to adolescents ages 14 through 21. The great thing about this program is if you choose to continue it until you turn 21, you will receive a certificate excusing the college credits you need to apply for the Police Academy. The Philadelphia Police Explorers program makes it their priority to properly train cadets, and prepare them to enter the police academy

After college I am going to the police academy so that I can work for Pearland Police Department. There is at least three reason why I want to work for Pearland PD. One, Pearland is one of the largest and fastest growing city in the united states. Second, Pearland Police department has grown over the past year which create new job opportunity in the city. Finally, the department provide the best training program.

Over the past two years I have continuously studied and worked within the criminal justice field. My studies from Vincennes University varied within the field of criminal justice and at times pertained to corrections. Working as a Campus Safety Officer gave me experience with a variety of people and personalities. During my time as a Campus Safety Officer I was educated on defensive tactics, pepper ball training, hand-to-hand combat, OC pepper spray, and Monadnock expandable baton training. I have excellent communication skills and am able to keep calm during stressful situations.

As a police officer’s career moves ahead one only thinks of the good that can be done by having this career. Ask anyone what the purpose of being a police officer is and they will answer that it is to keep people safe and maintain the peace. What many people do not realize is that being a police officer can damage a person emotionally. Many people see officers helping others and doing good but they do not see what happens when they are off duty. Just like any job being a police officer has its faults. A fault that being a police officer has is the emotional toll it can have on the officer and his family. Several people focus on the officer and how he has been affected by the job but they do not consider the family, the family that is there to help and support

I have decided to take this summer course in Criminal Justice because I’ve always has a strong interest in the subject. My interest in the criminal justice field began when I was about eight years old. This interest stemmed from my strong liking of the television show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The show made me want to have a career in the criminal justice field. As I’ve aged, my desire of having a career in the criminal justice field has decreased, yet,

The second course that I believe can improve the relations between police and the community is the IACP “School Safety Online Trainings”. This online training course is designed to improve school safety and to enhance the student’s actions if a crisis actually happens. The course

However, I have come to appreciate the opportunities to speak to others and to teach others. I am committed to further my education so that I may be able to teach at a higher level of education. I believe that there is a promising future in criminal justice education. As our country’s communities begin to expect more out of American law enforcement officers, I believe that the vetting process will eventually become more stringent. In particular, I foresee a trend in mandating that police officers have some level of college education in order to be certified as law enforcement officers.

     The curriculum that is devised for a police officer is very important to the police officer and his or her success in their chosen career path. An officer’s training is also very important to the community in which they serve and the department in which they work. An officer must receive training in a variety of fields to help them be a well-rounded police officer. Officers receive training in such areas as: law, community relations, firearms, vehicle driving, search and seizure, and cultural awareness. The basic curriculum that is offered to a new recruit is focused on giving the recruit the best overall training that will give him or her the tools necessary to become the

I believe the skills I gained from this placement will benefit me in this course. I was able to utilise my skills in time keeping, communication and teamwork whilst proving my dedication and hard-working nature. I formed a strong caring relationship with residents and worked with them as individuals and as part of a group in order for them to feel comfortable and to help trigger past memories. This improved my confidence, motivated me and made me realise that in the future I want to help and protect people and the society in which we all live in. I believe attending placements in Criminology will help me to do this and will aid my ambition and desire to go into the Police Force or into Forensic Psychology in the future.
