Personal Narrative: My Interest In Criminal Justice

On February 9, 2011, at approximately 7:15 AM, I, GBI Special Agent Abigail Wilkes, arrived at 293 Stone Road to process a crime scene involving two deaths. When I arrived, the crime scene was secured with yellow tape. I met with Deputy Sheriff Ray Chandler. Chandler told me that the two victims, Steve Campbell and Sherry Campbell, had two gunshot wounds each. Sherry Campbell died in the master bedroom of the residence, but emergency medical services (EMS) took Steve Campbell from the scene. Chandler informed that the EMS personnel entered the residence through the front door and placed Steve Campbell on a stretcher. Steve Campbell 's injuries created a blood drip trail when he was transported to the ambulance. The drip trail began in the master bedroom, went through the hallway, out of the front door, and into the yard of the residence. Steve Campbell died on the way to the hospital.

Hey little brother sorry you can't call. I don't have any money on the phone. I haven't spoken with Mj in a month. I am so heartbroken. Your wife told me the great news and I am so happy for you both. Like I told Lamont I really don't talk to no one in Michigan. Kristy (1-2 times a week) Aretha and Fred (every other 3-4 months) maybe. Mom and Cass never. So that's that. You, Lamont and Mj are my concerns as long as you all let me be in your lives I will be. I love all my family dearly; however, along the way we have lost vital parts of who we are as a family. I think long incarcerations have made some feel that they are not family. Many people have forgotten who they are as simply Africans but on a basic level in this family we have forgotten

On 04/18/2016 I assisted Sgt. Patterson on a traffic stop in the 900 block of East K-53 HWY, Sumner County, Kansas. When I drove past I observed an older four door passenger vehicle stopped on the north side of the road with Sgt. Patterson's patrol vehicle behind it with emergency equipment activated. I turned around of K--53 and pulled in behind Sgt. Patterson, I activated my rear emergency lights and walked to the passenger side window of Sgt. Patterson's patrol vehicle. In the vehicle he had stopped I could see two white males sitting in the front driver and passenger seats, Sgt. Patterson was already back in his vehicle and was running the occupants information with SUCO 911. Sgt. Patterson told me that the passenger was moving around

“The Sheriff´s office has issued a mandatory evacuation order for your area.” A phone call like that will get you out of bed in a hurry, and it’s something you don’t get used too. I grew up in Ramona, California, a small rural town with not much to offer. Mountains, farm animals, hillbillies and fires… all a part of Ramona.

For this question, I would like to use a combination of my real world experiences with probation officers and what I have read in this unit's read section. While working in the Correction's field, I have been introduced to many interesting people. A few of these people have been probation officers that conduct classes for the inmates inside of our facility. Now we all know that in the real world the book is not something that is always followed as it should be. In the perfect scenario, everything would be done by the book and have the perfect ending. However, this is sadly something that does not happen often. Many probation officer that I have spoken with tell me stories of backstabbing among the ranks, close calls, and even horror stories.

When I entered Loyola University Chicago in the fall on 2017, I still felt understandably unsure as to what both my academic and my professional future might hold for me. After two semesters of exploring my interests and growing more confident in my abilities, I feel very secure in what the future may hold.

Hey how are you doing? My name is Sheterrica Lenard and I've been working since I was 16 years old and I have all the experience that is required for this position. I have 5 years of experience in supervising and coordinating work of other correctional officers, I also can drive passenger vehicles and trucks used to transport inmates to other institutions, courtrooms, hospitals and work sites. I counsel inmates and respond to legitimate questions, concerns, and requests. I have also participate in required job training. After being in school for 8 years, majoring inn this field, I know I meet all required standards for this position. Although not all police departments require their detectives to possess a college degree, the shift toward a

If a young person in your life has been charged with a crime, you're likely dealing with a wealth of unexpected stresses and pressures. A good starting point is to talk with local juvenile attorneys and ask some questions. Kirsten Swanson - Attorney at Law is a juvenile attorney who has been representing clients in the Juneau, Alaska, area for nearly two decades. She understands the stresses and pressures you and your family are probably facing, and she's here to give you the exceptional legal representation you need.

Officer Gordon comes quickly up to me and says “Chief Lussen we found him” and that officer Miles is taking him into the interrogation room. As I take a second to myself and take a deep breath officer Gordon passes me files for the case. I walk towards the interrogation room but i wanted to look at him before I walked in and started interrogating him. So I looked at him through the observation mirror into the interrogation room and thought to me all my years of working as a homicide investigator this case is the case that has shocks me the most. 37 residents that live in the neighborhood and saw & even heard something or someone yelling on the street didn't even call the police.

“And this woman's case stands she broke the law and she committed the worst crime which is a death” Is there any objections”

On 06-09-2016 at 1103 hours I was contacted at the front desk of the Police Department in reference to stealing.

When I was little some of my closest family members were educators, so naturally I wanted to become a teacher when I grew up. Although, as I grew older I changed my mind about what I wanted as my profession a lot. I went from wanting to become a teacher to wanting to pursuing a career in the fashion industry as a fashion designer, and then I wanted to become a FBI Agent. I probably changed my mind a million times, before I realized that I wanted to become a teacher. I arrived at this decision in high school, more specifically during the first semester of eleventh grade.

As a Correctional Officer for the State of Colorado, I am motivated and tempted every day to promote but do not currently have the degree to move further into my career. I would like to increase my knowledge and experience in my career through law enforcement, but the only way to guarantee that I excel with experience and education depends on my motivation into evolving a Bachelor’s degree. My plan is to follow through my ideas and turn them into my dream coming true. I lost track of education and motivation when I was at Colorado State University of Pueblo in 2010, not realizing what I was throwing away at the time. Knowing that I was incorrect and foolish to get rid of something that is critical in life has made me want to complete something that was broken and make it whole again.

I never thought that one experience with a security guard would change my cultural perspective of law enforcement forever. Most authorities of the law are people who want to serve and protect our society. There are also some authorities that think their badge can let them control everything and everyone. Just because you have a badge or higher authority than someone else, doesn’t mean you can treat someone with disrespect.

“Hold your breathe. The arbiter would love to hear all of your lies” The officer said walking away. My cell was small and It smelled like feet. It was dark and I couldn't see the ground. I sat on a bench and curled up. I still couldn’t remember what had happen. Why wasn't I dead too.
