Summary
I am currently in Sales Management, and I am looking to get back into Law Enforcement. I graduated BLET at 20.5 years old and I learned so much during my time in law enforcement. I took every training class I could possibly take. I trained new officers, wrote search warrants on occasions, investigated street level narcotics and found the sources to make and affect an arrest. I got a lot of illegal guns off the street in my time as a Police Officer. I assisted the community as much as I could and made a presence by conducting foot patrols, getting out of my patrol vehicle and speaking with people, traffic stops, business checks, etc. I know its been awhile since I have been in law enforcement, but I have matured greatly at this point in my life. I am still fit and more than capable to go back through the academy. I would be better today in this field than I was as a young man as we all mature and grow as adults. I believe with the right training and my past experience, I could really be a great asset to the team.
