Depending on the nature of the incident, I was responsible for photographing crime scenes, collecting fingerprints, and handling evidence in accordance with departmental procedures and legal standards. I routinely made arrests and detained suspects while ensuring full compliance with constitutional rights and applicable laws. Accurate documentation was a vital part of my duties, and I consistently prepared thorough, detailed incident reports to support ongoing investigations and legal proceedings. In addition to enforcement and investigative responsibilities, I actively engaged with members of the community, working to build trust, strengthen public relationships, and promote a safe, respectful environment for all residents.

I was routinely tasked with delivering high-quality patient care under pressure, operating the ambulance safely, and effectively communicating with patients, families, and other first responders. I became proficient in using essential medical equipment and adapting to the fast-paced, unpredictable nature of the job. I am confident in my ability to remain calm and focused during high-stress situations while providing compassionate, competent care. In addition to my field duties, I also served as a preceptor for EMT students during their ride-alongs. This mentorship role allowed me to share my knowledge, reinforce core skills, and support the development of the next generation of EMS professionals—an experience I found especially rewarding.
