A police explorer program is one that is offered by a police department for their city’s youth ages 14 ½ - 21 years. In this program the youth learn leadership skills and discipline among other things. A major part of being a police explorer is working in the community whether it be at community events, directing traffic during functions, and helping the different units of the department in whatever is needed. There’s a program offered by the Riverside County Sheriff’s department called the Explorer post program and in this particular program participants not only do community service they also go on ride-along once they’ve become eligible. They attend meetings to discuss business pertaining to the explorer programs and any upcoming events.…
The CBFD also provides both junior high and high school explorers programs to approximately 30 teenagers…
Why do you want to be an officer in the SHS Beta Club? Before Junior year, and before being able to join the Beta Club, I have had the urge to reach out and experience new things. I feel that Beta Club will provide me with some vital experiences that will benefit me during the rest of my high school year and thereafter. The people that I will meet during these experiences are also something that I look forward to.…
I have a strong desire to become an officer in the United States Navy. To achieve this goal I wish to be accepted into Officer Candidate School where I will later graduate with a commission as an Ensign. I believe myself to be of both strong mind and body, and I accredit this to my commitment to my school, my work, and my training. I graduated top ten percent of my class in High School and Magna Cum Laude in college and I continually try to increase the diversity of my knowledge so to become a better rounded person. I majored in Criminology and Criminal Justice and minored in Psychology, so through convention teaching methods I have gained a firm grip in the Social Sciences; however, its through my work experience that I have really grown.…
The demand for police officers, as reported by the U.S. Labor Statistics, is expected to increase by seven percent. This increase is due to the demand of having police officers risk their lives in the front lines against the battle of crime. Police are needed to maintain peace, prevent and investigate crime, reach out to the community, and protect the people they represent. A law enforcement officer must be able to accomplish all of this goals and still contribute to society. To experience the same contribution law enforcement officers provide to the El Paso community on a daily basis, I had decide to volunteer my time in the Boys and Girls Club of El Paso.…
The career I chose was an athletic trainer. An athletic trainer is someone who helps prevent injuries and provides treatment to those who have been injured. I chose this career because I have been involved in sports since I was a little girl; it involves with helping athletes re-gain their physical mobility and I like the idea of helping others. I have seen, talked to, and been around athletic trainers and it inspired me to become one. It was inspiring just to know what they do, how they do it, and how they work with the athletes to push them to greatness.…
I knew Chicago P.D. would be the police department for me if I was looking for adrenaline rushes on the job. I wanted to do something that made me happy and helped other people while enduring fear and…
A career in corrections appeals to me for a number of reasons. I enjoy working with other people and excel working with people from different backgrounds other than my own. While I was in the Army there was strong demand for a structured work environment. This is something I desire in a career and feel that corrections as other professions in law enforcement demand high level of structure and expect nothing less. To attain this expectation requires individuals to be highly disciplined, so they are able to give 100 percent every moment they are not only on the clock, but when you’re on your own time as well.…
The future is never clear, and my own was no exception. Thoughts of what I wanted to do with my life were always followed by uncertainty. During the entirety of my adolescence I always felt overwhelmed by my inability to decide my future, leading to a metastasizing panic in my inabilities to achieve success in any discipline. My transition from childhood fantasies to adult goals was anything but seamless and I often found myself lost, especially in academics.…
In class a lot is learned about the different rankings, necessary education, and the court systems but talking to an officer gives you personal insight on what he has to go through in everyday life. You can hear how actually dangerous their jobs can be rather than just reading it. You can hear how much they want to keep their community safe rather than just hating them for giving you a speeding ticket. They tell you things they enjoy and dislike doing in their line of work and see how much action they actually have to deal with rather than just relying on stereotypes from movies. I have a new found respect for officers, for the ones who actually care and enjoy their line of work to better the community that they work…

If I had to describe myself with just one aspect about my life it would be when I decided to join the military. I’m sharing this aspect of my life because it is unique to me and not many other people have the military as part of their lives. Less than one-half of 1% of the U.S. population is serving in the military right now. Joining the Army was one of the most life changing experiences I’ve had so far in my life. In my time since joining I have learned a lot and met many people from all walks of life in the military.…
Why I want a Career in Law Enforcement I value the officers that serve and protect the community and it has always been my desire to have a career in the law enforcement profession. As a child, I remember a local police officer that came to my elementary school. His name was Officer Howey. Every year he would discuss a variety of topics, from staying away from strangers to the dangers associated with drugs. I always felt that I was safe and could approach him with any questions or concerns I had.…
