Anthony Landes

The Asheville Police Department should consider hiring me due to my diverse and relevant experiences that uniquely qualify me for a law enforcement career. As a bus monitor, I honed my communication and interpersonal skills, ensuring the safety and well-being of passengers. My role as a merchandiser at Target showcased my organizational abilities and attention to detail, crucial qualities in law enforcement.

My time as a Cadet Staff Sergeant (SSG) at the New Mexico Military Institute demonstrates my leadership capabilities, discipline, and crisis management skills. This military experience has equipped me with a strong sense of responsibility, ethics, and the ability to make quick, sound decisions under pressure – essential attributes for a law enforcement professional.

Additionally, my background as a collegiate football player and high school team captain highlights my commitment to teamwork, perseverance, and dedication. These qualities are directly transferable to law enforcement, where collaboration and resilience are paramount.

I have an strong desire to pursue an Law Enforcement career as my uncle Richard Landes of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office passed away on duty. In pursuing a career as a law enforcement officer, I am motivated by a desire to honor Sheriff Richard Landes' memory, contribute to public safety, and continue the tradition of service that runs in my family. I am committed to upholding the principles he stood for and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I serve, just as he did during his time with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

Overall, my combination of military leadership, teamwork, and relevant professional experiences positions me as a well-rounded candidate for the Asheville Police Department. I am confident that my diverse skill set, coupled with a strong work ethic and commitment to community safety, makes me an ideal candidate for a position within the department.
