I am writing today to submit my Letter of Intent for Prisoner Transportation Officer. I look forward to this opportunity to gain more knowledge from the Travis County Sheriff's Office. I have been with the Travis County Sheriffs Office for over 11 years now and have learned a great deal from many different Sergeants and Lieutenants along with fellow Officers. I am currently assigned to Hospital Visitation Unit A shift. I believe my experience working in this unit and gaining experience in transporting inmates, maintaining security in the visitation building and hospitals, and interacting with the general public will help me greatly in this new section. I also believe my experience as a Building 1 Field Training Officer will also contribute to my experience. Thank you for your time and the opportunity in this matter.
Sincerely, Senior Corrections Officer Jacob Hisatake #4930 Hospital Visitation Unit/A Shift Travis County Sheriff's Office Corrections Bureau
