Field Experience 2 Paper 3 For my Internship for Iowa Lakes Community College Criminal Justice with the Spirit Lake Police Department I have done a total of 152 hours. It definitely has been a very fun and exciting experience, but it has also taught me that being a police officer is not just about pulling cars over and writing them tickets.

Spirit Lakes Officers has a great sense of class and respect for there job and are very professional. They have taught me not only about how to be a great police officer they have also taught me how to represent myself within the community on duty and also off duty. Their job is much more then just writing tickets. They are someone people can talk to when they are in trouble, their people who work long hours to help keep the city safe, and they have a great amount of courage for what they have to encounter on a day-to-day basis. As a police officer you never really know what your going into and you only have seconds to react when something turns dangerous. I have definitely gained a great amount of respect for all law enforcement officers now that I have been on the other side and see things they encounter. I’m exited to see what comes at us next at the Spirit Lake Police
