Personal Narrative: My Associate Degree In Criminal Justice

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

My decision to become a Criminal Justice major was not a simple one. My high school cross country coach was also a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer who told me that I had a very “police-like” attitude, which ignited a spark in my brain. Initially I thought it would be pretty cool to chase people down, shoot guns, and have my picture plastered on the front page of every newspaper for taking down the biggest drug cartel in the United States although my mind was still set on majoring in Athletic Training.

Michigan’s great name and ranking would be enough for nearly every applicant to want to Michigan Law. However, when I started looking closer at law schools and what they stand for and areas of expertise I found that Michigan aligns with my belief and interest more than any other law school I have seen. Not only is the reputation of the school so good that it is recognized everywhere but the tradition and location of the school is just as impressive. While I would also enjoy escaping the hot Texas climate but the values and of the school are something that I love even more about the school. The belief in interdisciplinary learning and actions is something that I think is important for being able to work on some of the most difficult issues

At present, I am about to embark on my final phase of my long-term educational goals in that I have been accepted to ASU Law, and will begin my graduate program in the fall of 2018. When I began my journey at community college, I had intentions to transfer to a four year university to complete my undergraduate degree, followed by law school. I exceeded these goals as I will be graduating in six weeks with not one, but two undergraduate degrees. Furthermore, I will not have any gaps in transitioning directly into law school since I have already overcome the hurdle of the application process. Fortunately, I was granted acceptance at ASU Law prior to my undergraduate degree conferrals. With this in mind, I plan to achieve the goal of completing

I will not stop until I make the world a safer and better place. Maybe it'll be done by me being a prosecutor and help bring justice to the families who have been hurt. Maybe I’ll be a police officer and work my way up to a detective, or maybe I’ll even be a forensic psychologist and testify in court for the prosecution. It’s obvious I don’t know exactly how I’ll protect my people and make the world safer, but I am determined to do so; I will not give up on making my dreams a reality.

Choosing a career is a very stressful, meaningful, and sometimes exciting thing. While choosing a career you have to think about many different aspects. There are so many choices and decisions that have to be made. Will you get into the right college? Will you be able to succeed in life? Will you make enough money to later support a family? Most importantly, do you love it? I have gone from a Veterinarian, a police officer, a lawyer, and a federal agent specializing in crimes against children. Even though those were all careers I thought were right for me, they were not. My chosen career and true passion is a Prosecuting Attorney, and eventually Attorney General.

I went through a lot in life as a child. Growing up was not easy as a kid ( especially

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

Starting off the semester I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go into the criminal justice field and if I did what I would be doing in it. I’ve always been the type of person who has wanted to dedicate my time towards helping people and improving the world we live in. After taking this course I’ve really thought a lot about my future and what I’m going to be doing for a career. I decided to go into the police field. After deciding this I interviewed a retired cop that made his way up to chief of police.

The major that I chose was Criminal Justice. I chose this major because most lawyers major in Criminal Justice. I decided to look into the Criminal Justice major at DMACC. My first semester is just going to be the basics like intro to Criminal Justice and other classes like that. My second semester is going to be about criminal investigation. My third semester is going to get more in depth than the other two semester were, and my last semester is going to be about an internship mainly. By the time that I get done, I need at least 64 credits. I knew what the courses and how many credits I needed because I have already looked into all of this.

The long-term career I have chosen is a Criminal Justice Lawyer position. I have picked this because I want to help people and get better at seeing both sides of a story. I expect to learn many of things from this field of work, like how to have more patience, and be more open, but also interrogative. I feel like being a Criminal Justice Lawyer is my calling and therefore I should answer to it.

It is my pleasure to write in support of Dr. Gabriela Popescu’s nomination of Marina Ramirez-Alvarado, PhD to receive the Ruth Kirschstein Diversity in Science Award. I have known Marina since I began my position at Mayo Clinic.

As a college graduate, I would probably be perplexed if I were offered a lump sum of $5,000 sign-on bonus for my first post-college job. There are a number of things to consider when deciding whether to pay off existing debt or invest the money for additional earning potential. The first thing that I would consider is my risk tolerance including my age, income, earning power, time horizon and tax situation (Artzberger, 2014). My age at the time would weigh into the decision heavily. Meaning, at this time, I am relatively young and the time value of $5,000 at 5% interest would be approximately $21,000. Since I have paid taxes on the money, I could invest in a Roth IRA for tax-free gains upon retirement. On the other hand, paying off debt may

Hello! I am Toshua Poff and I attend Indiana University Southeast. I am studying for my bachelor’s degree in general studies and minor in Criminal Justice. Intro to Criminal Justice is a required course for my minor. My goal for this semester is to learn more about the criminal justice system. I completed Criminal Justice Ethics during summer 1 session and quickly decided I knew what my minor needed to be. Plus a minor in Criminal Justice and my IT background could open new career avenues in the future with cyber-crime and computer investigation work.

You simply can’t call the police on such matters as this. The police deal with people and their sins. Ronnie Levinson and his friends were not people. They may have been at one time but they were not anymore. These matters would only result in the deaths of countless officers. I had begun to explain all this to the young father but all he did was continue to stare at me muted. I went on explaining to him that what we were dealing with here was pure evil, members of Satan’s army. And we, as loyal soldiers of the army of God had a duty to defend our house of the Lord and its members in our community.
