On November 19th, 2017 I was dispatched to 37 Falcon Drive regarding physical disturbance still in progress. I arrived a minute after Sgt. Marler. Upon my arrival I entered the house and could hear Sgt. Marler giving commands at the end of the hall. I went down the hall and advised Alex Lister, who was against the wall with his hands above his head, and on the wall, to put his left hand behind his back, which he did and I placed the first handcuff on him. Then I order him to put his right hand…

It has held a strong force…
department, regardless of size, must operate within. Larger departments by necessity have larger budgets but this does not always mean that they are more successful in completing their goals. The larger a budget the more patrol officers the department can put on the road. Each officer on the road must be paid their salary, trained properly, provided a vehicle capable of accomplishing their tasks, and provided the tools and equipment needed for their safety.

Throughout my life I was given the chance to be a leader many times. Whether it be from lacrosse, church activities, school clubs and AFJROTC at my school. Before going into leadership myself I thought that a leader had to be a really strong and courageous person. Although those characteristics are true, many other factors go into it as well. This past summer I was chosen to be a small group leader for a mission trip to Yucatan, Mexico with my church youth group. As a small group leader I had…
the art of asking versus telling, these barriers would be less prevalent and we could accomplish our tasks in a less dramatic way.

When walking outside or accepting an award, it is required that we salute and provide the proper greetings, acknowledgment or thank you. If we are called to our leader’s office for an extraordinary reason,…
