Darius Samples
Summary
I have always had a passion for law enforcement and policing. I endured homelessness during the police academy just so I could live out my dream of being an officer. There were circumstances that led to my departure from GCPD, but there hasn’t been a day that has gone by that I haven’t thought about continuing to police. I am ready to get back into it after 8 years of being away. If given the opportunity to fill this part-time role, you will be getting a very eager, dedicated, and hard working individual
