Three qualities important in life, but even more so in being a successful USMA cadet and Army officer are honor, responsibility, and determination. These traits will allow a person to be a powerful leader, follower, and soldier in general.
Throughout Hitler’s reign over Germany there was an agenda that existed which led to murders of a great number of innocent people. The agenda was the extermination of Jews from Germany so that Germany could become a pure country in terms of ethnicity. It was Hitler’s idea but he only gave the orders while the SS and the Order Police carried out the orders. One group of people that helped carry out this idea of judenfrei or Jew free Germany was the Reserve Police Battalion 101. The men who made up this group were regular men that had come from a variety of careers. Most the men volunteered because the immunity that they would receive from “conscription into the army” once the volunteers had become part of

One person assist weapon out - The responding officer will place the arm of the casualty around the back of his neck. The officer supporting the casualty will hold the casualties arm with one hand and then have his firearm out with the other. This carry will only work if the casualty is alert and still able to walk on one or both of their legs.
There were many valuable topics covered during my time at the Chief Petty Officer Academy (CPOA), however three of them have and will continue to help shape me as a leader and be useful to assist those I work with at my upcoming duty assignment. There were many take-backs from my five weeks at CPOA; however the three I found the most valuable are wellness/fitness, facilitating meetings, and team building. These three very simple techniques can be quiet challenging for some and do create greater challenges if not used at all.
Being at the Chief’s Academy has been a great experience for me. I have learned many things during my time here that I will take back to my unit and apply to my day-to- day work. In the following paragraphs I will talk about three things specifically. The first thing I will take back will be my dedication to working out and my overall fitness. I will take what I have learned about fitness and share it with my subordinates. Secondly, in relation to the generations class, I will think about how people are different and how they come from different places and how I need to adjust my self to those differences. Lastly, I will take what I have learned about coaching and use that to better understand my people by listening and asking thought provoking questions. Even though I have learned many things, these are the three that I believe I will
I was elected to be a Thespian Officer my freshman year as the only underclassman to be granted a position for the following year. Consequently, I returned as the only veteran officer my junior year. Being the only one who had experience leading in this department, I was appointed to show the ropes to a brand new set of officers- some of which were seniors who had acted in the department for nearly four years. The intimidating task of coordinating and training a group of people who were older, had higher positions, and were possibly more qualified than I became daunting. However, it was in this time of building a strong team that I grew as a leader, communicator, and team player.
One day while driving to boy scouts with my grandson he asked me “Papa, have you ever been hurt or shot at while you were in the military?”
Throughout our study of community corrections this semester a reoccurring issues has appeared over and over. When discussing probation and when discussing parole the issue of inadequate officer training has reared its ugly head and been calculated into the current, failing, state of community corrections. It has become evident that probation and parole officers require more intensive training on how to work effectively with probationers and parolees. The question of how that should be done has come up and the answer has repeatedly been “more education”. The idea of more education sounds like a simple fix, but in reality it requires a lot of funding to send each officer to a school to receive more education pertaining to the field of
I'm a Correctional Officer in a Federal Medium Facility, we have an variety of individuals house there, we have some very rich, educated, and powerful individuals incarcerated along with some poor, uneducated individuals. Some of these individuals don't even speak English, because they were extradited from overseas. These individuals had been trial and convicted of crimes in the US, and sentenced by a judge to Serve a sentence. These individuals create an unique environment because we have people from different backgrounds, education levels and communication barriers living in the same environment.
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 best police officer they
Thank you for spending time with me throughout my second year of training. It has been a pleasure meeting with and getting to know you. I am grateful for the insight you have given to me and for sharing your experiences and perspective with me. One of the greatest lessons I have learned from our time together is that spiritual formation is an important aspect in the life of an officer.
The Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer states, “No one is more professional than I,” “I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient,” and “All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership.” As America transitions from a nation at war to a nation at the ready, it is imperative as noncommissioned officers, that we remember those responsibilities set forth in the creed in which we live by as we forge our next generation of soldiers and leaders. How we forge our future leaders, train our soldiers, and how we develop ourselves as noncommissioned officers is outlined in Army Regulation 350-1, Army Training and Leader Development. From
Even though not all police officers are ‘bad apples’ it still reflect badly on those that work with them and the departments they work for.
