Summary

Through my experience in college studying Criminal Justice I have gained a firm grip on how the judicial system works as well as procedure and legalistic terms. I have knowledge of constitutional rights and protections that citizens have, and a good idea of what situations I may face as a police officer. With my work ethic and ability to learn quick, I believe I can be a useful asset to any department I join.
