I was selected to attend Special Agent’s class for the National Security Agency in October of 2013. Thousands of individuals apply for this opportunity and I was one of approximately thirty people to be selected to begin a career in public service. This was the first major accomplishment in my professional career with many more to take place and hopefully many more to come. After a period of time conducting personnel security investigations, I was selected for a highly sought after position in the Security Operations Command Center (SOCC). The SOCC is a twenty-four hour watch floor responsible for the protection of the Agency’s people, facilities, and information. While working as a Security Duty Officer (SDO) in the SOCC, I respond to medical emergencies, security and law enforcement …show more content…
In the fall of 2015, I responded to an emergency medical incident where an individual attempted to take his own life by stabbing himself with a pair of scissors in the head and chest. When I arrived on scene I immediately assisted in the rendering of aid to the individual and ensuring emergency medical services were on the way. The individual was taken to the hospital and treated for his wounds, making a full recovery. Additionally, the individual was treated for the underlying psychiatric condition in which brought upon the suicide attempt. I was fortunate enough to speak to the individual’s wife who advised me that because of our work, he was able to obtain the help he needs and is now living a completely different and healthier life. After working in the SOCC as an SDO for approximately two years, I was promoted to Senior Watch Officer (SWO). Being promoted to SWO has been the most beneficial accomplishment thus far in my professional career. This position has taught me how to manage intense and highly dynamic situations, oversee a work environment occupied by employees with vastly different personalities, and how to multi-task to a level I did not know was even
For consideration as a Lieutenant within the Intelligence & Analysis Crime Unit, Regional Operations & Intelligence Center. my experience of supervision, dealing with outside vendors and ability to manage complex data systems would make me a good fit for the Intelligence & Analysis Crime Unit. Used by the NJSP and various outside agencies, the Voicebox system is a primary tool of police wiretapping operations. Furthermore, I have managed the entire MAPPS System software, this includes negotiating with outside vendors and writing of waivers each valued at a quarter of a million dollars or more. Having been an assistant unit head since 2011, and in charge of two enlisted and five civilian personnel, my experience in managing personnel is established. My current assignment in the MAPPS/SPU Unit has required a wealth of different skill sets including, editing and writing SOPs, completing MAPPS Supervisory Training Lesson plans, and instructing hundreds of new supervisors.
My current position as an Area Commander for the Federal Protective Service (FPS) is not without its challenges. I am responsible for supervising eleven federal law enforcement officers to include two K9 units and approximately forty-five contracted protective security officers. As a team we address security related issues on a daily basis. Our position description encompasses two major disciplines; the first is federal law enforcement and the second physical security. Both occupations can be viewed as one, yet separate in their ever changing complexity of development. The greatest challenges are staying up with the constant progression of technical advances in the way each vital role is implemented. Combining two occupations into one job description can at times be overwhelming.
F.B.I agents actually make a lot of money. They make about “28.97 per hour or about 60,270 a year” (BLS.gov) This amount may increase if you wish to go higher up and be a special agent. This amount is pretty good, due to the fact that it is enough to make a nice working home possible. It also means that the money spent on college will be easy to repay. Plus the salary for an F.B.I agent is actually “higher than average” (BLS.Gov). Which means that this career must be doing well if it can afford to pay these workers that much. Again this would leave money for a steady home and even a little for luxuries. F.B.I jobs are also “expected to grow in demand” (chron.com). So this will mean even more people will be wanted for this job, which means
To be considered for an assignment as a Lieutenant within the Intelligence & Analysis Crime Unit, Regional Operations & Intelligence Center. Namley, my experience of supervision, dealing with outside vendors and ability to manage complex data systems would make me a good fit for the Intelligence & Analysis Crime Unit.

Polyneice, king of Thebes, has passes away at age 91. "Polyneice's death is considered a homicide" said Special Agent Booth. Booth also added " the former king was shot in the abdomen and on the back of his head". Special Agent Booth has no knowledge of which shot killed the king, however the anthropologist will speak to the media about which shot, miraculously, murdered the former king, polyneice.
-As a Marine Security Guard, Sergeant Treadwell was charged with providing armed internal security for the United States, Department of State, and its Diplomatic Missions.

I sat down with Randy Hoover, a veteran and retired state trooper now conducting private security for a retirement village in Tennessee. I’ve known Randy from going to the same church and having him as my youth counselor while I was in High School. I didn’t really fully know Randy until I sat down with him and asked him about his career. He has always been a mentor to me and always made sure life was good to me. Having been given the opportunity, I sat down with Randy to see what the average day of a trooper is truly like. Since being involved in law enforcement is my current career interest I found him to be the perfect candidate. After talking with him, I came to the conclusion that the life of a law enforcer is very different
“The agency relationship is defined as ‘the fiduciary relationship which results from the manifestation of consent by one person to another that the other shall act in his behalf and subject to his contract, and consent by the other so to act.’ Agents obligations relating to their players are defind not only by contact, but by the fiduciary characteristics of the relationship.” The agent owes his/her player a lot of things in their basic care to their player. These things include the fiduciary duty of undivided loyalty and the duty to act in good faith at all times. The player is going to entrust this agent with all of their fortune, reputation, and legal rights and responsibilities. Along with all of these duties the agent is going to have to abide by what the player wants and carry out what their desire are. This is a responsibility of the agent and it must only do what is desired by and for the player and must not carry out its own business affairs. “The agent must obey all of his/her players’ lawful instruction no matter how arbitrary or capricious any of those instructions seem to the agent or anyone else. However, if the player instructs the agent to perform something illegal, like bribe someone, the agent does not have to comply.”
It was a short drive over to the parking lot outside of building 7518. The two-story khaki- colored building resembled the barracks at the Security Police School at Lackland. The building itself provided a sense of familiarity, which helped ease some of my anxiety and uncertainty. Sgt. Billingsly escorted me into the Dorm Managers office where I presented my military orders to Staff Sargent Kingsley, the manager in charge of maintaining order in the barracks. He was also charged with ensuring that the rules were followed with regards to maintenance and visitors. He had dark brown hair, and by the looks of him, he spent hours in the gym lifting. He offered a friendly welcome and asked if the PI was my first duty station. I said, “Sir,
Security officers learned a very large lesson on September 11, 2001; they learned that they needed to care about and perform their job to the best of their ability in order to safeguard our country.
The work of federal agents has been popping up in crime-fighting TV shows and popular movies on a daily basis. The blood-racing, adrenaline-pumping, life-risking work of these federal crime fighters seem to catch the attention of everybody in our nation. It is easy to see why, too. These are the people who keep our nation and its people safe from danger. Due to these well known facts, I have always dreamed of becoming a federal agent. Now, with enough perseverance and persistence, I am going to turn my dream into a reality. Therefore, with my passion for keeping our nation safe, and my interest in stopping criminal activity all over the country, I plan to become a federal agent.
All my life I have been fascinated with police work and firefighting. As a result, I have spent a vast amount of time volunteering at local fire departments working closely with local law enforcement personnel in emergency situations. Although I have wavered for years about whether to pursue a career in law enforcement or firefighting, I have always known that one way or the other I am going to be involved in emergency services. While local police enforcement is interesting, I have always wondered what it would be like to be a State Police Trooper. With that in mind, I secured an interview with Delaware State Police Trooper, Master Corporal (CPL/3) Douglas Brietzke.
There is no doubt that being in the profession of corrections is an exceedingly stressful and dangerous profession. Corrections officers are one of the highest rated for non-fatal on-the-job injuries, which usually result from confrontations with inmates. These confrontations are anything from riots, fights, and even having excrement being throw at them by inmates. When being confronted with these challenges on a daily basis, fraternity and brotherhood are crucial. It is vital for your fellow corrections officer to “have your 6”. Being a corrections officer is more than guarding inmates, it is protecting your fellow officers and protecting the inmates from themselves, even though at times the inmates wish harm upon you. We all must remember, corrections officers are cops without guns and a lot more criminals. To civilians, that it a nightmare that we could never imagine. It is of the utmost importance that the PSCOA operate as a “fraternal organization,” because it is impossible to trust and depend on one another. The ultimate goal for each officer is to maintain order and to get home every night in one piece.
For as long as I can remember our country has been involved in some form of conflict. With these conflicts came groups who sought to hurt the U.S. on its sovereign soil. I was in pre-k when the Boeing 757’s hit the Twin Towers in New York. My mother checked me out of school after it occurred; she had a sense of urgency to get my brother and I home. I didn’t know what was going on and I was frightened because my mom was as well. When we got home she went straight to the television and turned it to the news. I did not really understand what I was seeing other than a couple of buildings that were on fire. As I grew older the more my understanding of what occurred that tragic day did too. I began to feel a sense of sorrow and that was the initial I needed to set my mind on the track to become a Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The task of the FBI is not to only investigate the scene after a major event like what occurred in New York, but their main focus is to stop any form of attack before it begins. April 2013, two brothers planted bombs at the Boston Marathon finish line, killing a few and injuring a couple of hundreds of people. Again, I feel this sense of sorrow, but this time I began questioning, “How safe is our country from attacks?” July 2015, Chattanooga, Tennessee a man began to open fire on the recruiting office… He killed five people four of which were Marines and the other a sailor. This act was my breaking point, my determination to
A: this is not a job that is normal. Everyday is a different experience. You're not just a guard but you are medical, first responder,a therapist, a glorified babysitter. It's not one sided.
