Pasadena Police Department Assignment

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

On Friday, May 06, 2015 at 5:00 pm, I interviewed Westwego Police Officer Jeffrey Johnson at Starbucks in Marrero, Louisiana (1677 Barataria Blvd, Marrero, LA 70072). The city of Westwego is a suburb of New Orleans which is located in Jefferson Parish along the Mississippi River. Officer Johnson has been employed with the Westwego police department for fourteen years but also works a second job due to the unsatisfying salary and hopes to retire from both in the near future. Officer Johnson was enticed by the job security and benefits package which allowed him to provide for his family. He most importantly desired a career in law enforcement because of his long foreseeing passion to help and make a difference in the lives of others. The Westwego

Question: What has been your experience during your tenure as a police officer and administrator?

An advocate of Community Oriented Policing (COP), he has been diligent about sharing the message that “policing is a partnership.”

For the past 2 years I have been part of the San Francisco Police Activities League as a Cadet. As a Cadet I’ve had many opportunities that I never thought I would have. We, Cadets, help the San Francisco Police Department with any assistance they need in big Bay Area events or fundraising. I’ve gotten the chance to also meet the Chief of Police, Greg Suhr, and now Retired Deputy Chief, Lyn Tomioka. Never in my life did I think I would have the wonderful and honorable opportunity to meet 2 excellent people and many more amazing Officers. In the 2 years, I was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by Chief Suhr for the work I’ve done as a PAL Cadet.

I have been a police officer for the Pomona Police Department for approximately eleven years

One of the biggest issues to be addressed before moving forward with this proposal is finding a solution to the vacancies within the department. The current vacant positions include the following: six officers, two sergeants, and two community service non-sworn officers. Thanks to a grant awarded by the Federal Government budget restrictions are not an issue when hiring an officer. In order to get the word out in regards to the open positions, the department is to post the job listings everywhere possible. Moreover, another approach is spreading the word about the open positions by contacting a colleges' or universities' criminal justice department to let the department's secretary know that new positions are available. Furthermore, another

My name is Hamad Baksh. A career in Law Enforcement has always intrigued me, even as a kid. Growing up in London, has greatly influenced my interest, because the crime rates were incredibly high and as a child, there was nothing I could do about it. Once i was 18 i have studied Combat Academy in London. After 2 years of studying i learned self-defence and handling weapons. I was a bodyguard in many Night Clubs and i know how to deal with trespassers. I was 20 when I started to serve in Military. We had a lot of hard work to do, but that was not problem for me because i served for my country. Now i have got a lot of experience and i feel like an grown man. After i've left Military, i had to find a job. Firstly i moved to Los Angeles.

The job of working in a law enforcement staff is challenging and it is exactly that feature which attracts me to the job. The job of working in field patrol, investigations, crime prevention, community relations and service related activities is of utmost importance for me. It is of utmost priority to be part of first level supervisor and act as a watch commander for administering briefings, patrol beats, supervision and activities on assigned shift. I wish to respond to major crimes, accident scenes and emergency situations as a police sergeant and assume the responsibility for important functions, special programs, projects and functions. I intend to provide diverse administrative support to the management staff and conduct operational studies.

This informational memorandum is to help recruits understand a five-step process to help recruits be a better police officer. Working in the law enforcement field today is very hard. The public does not want to cooperate with the police like they use to in the past. They always question officers because they don’t trust them. This lack of trust makes it very hard for officers to do their job. Officers must change their ways, and be more approachable when talking to the public.

My primary goal is to maintain social order within prescribed ethical and constitutional limits, while providing professional law enforcement services to all. To attain this I will enforce the law in a fair and impartial manner, recognizing both the statutory and judicial limitations of police authority and the constitutional rights of all persons. I recognize that no law enforcement agency can operate at its maximum potential without the support from the citizens it serves. I will actively solicit and encourage the cooperation of all citizens to decrease the opportunities for crime and to facilitate the maximum use of all available resources. I am committed to serving my community, and I will do so with honor, integrity, and respect for the

Entry 1: Finding a mentor for this project was not too difficult. Despite finding a mentor, scheduling with my mentor was actually the hardest part. The funny thing about this, is fact that my mentor is my father. I see him everyday and scheduling is still difficult. I can only imagine how tough it is for others doing this project. To find, associate and make plans with people they don’t even know. Well anyway I want to be a Police Officer. Many of the stories my father had told me and continues to tell me is very interesting. His experiences inspired me to become one myself. I was told stories about many different criminals from someone J-walking to being involved in a homicide. This job seems like the least boring job( depending where you work) someone can be apart of.

Today I interviewed Officer Larry Tabor, He has been working at the Nashville police department for twenty-five years. Officer Tabor assured me he enjoyed his job and when growing up he always had a desire to become a police officer. Although, after he had already enlisted in the military the Tifton police department called him in for an interview due to his former decision he couldn’t go. Tabor stated that he was in the army for three years and the ready reserve for eight years afterward, he had the chance to join the national guard but, he didn’t want to.

This serious mission would be important in order to improve relationship with the citizens of the community that we serve. There are many areas of focused deterrence in policing that an officer can focus on to reduce crime in the city. The areas of the city that we pay the least amount of attention to, where there is rundown housing, dilapidated buildings abandoned automobiles, become prime areas for crime (Broken Window Theory) like dealing drugs, prostitution, and more serious crime problems. It is in these areas that there need to be a focus on the crimes that are visible to the public by implementing zero tolerance for criminal activities “disorderly behavior in public will frighten citizens and attract predatory criminals, thus leading to more serious criminal problems” (Greene, 1999).

I would like to speak about the type of person that I am. For me, being a Police Officer meant a lot of things. It meant enforcing the laws, serving the public and being the best representative for the Dayton Police Department I could be. I performed my duties as a Police Officer to the best of my ability. This was easy for me because of the skills I learned while severing my county. I was that with the starched uniform and spit-shined boots on everyday. The Officer who mentored the youth in the area I worked. The Officer who watched over the elderly, making them feel safe. I even transported an elderly lady to the grocery store when needed in my Police Cruiser.
