As a Community Service Officer-Intern (CSO-I), we work together to provide front desk coverage and take low-level calls for service. Working as a Community Service Officer has resulted in a broader base of experience, expedited training, and in-depth knowledge of Departmental procedures.

A brief list of experiences I have gained are:

• Using Enterprise Law Enforcement Mobile, Shield Production, Tyler Records, and Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) to enhance my ability to do my job
• Assisting patrol officers in non-enforcement activities.
• Responding to citizens requests for service.
• Maintaining police vehicles and equipment as assigned.
• Assisting citizens in identifying crime prevention techniques.

My career as a Laborer allowed me to work with a diverse group of individuals from around the United States. I gathered a great deal of useful skills and experiences from working with such a wide variety of people such as:

• Promoting a positive work environment by demonstrating strong teamwork and communication skills.
• Improving worksite efficiency by maintaining clean and organized work areas.
• Enhancing project timelines by collaborating effectively with team members on various tasks.
• Supporting construction projects by assisting with heavy equipment operations and manual labor tasks.
• Ensured safety compliance through regular inspection of tools and equipment, reporting any issues promptly.

Throughout my five years in the Army National Guard and one combat deployment to Afghanistan, I gained a wide variety of skills, absorbed a generous amount of knowledge, and learned a lot about humanity.

A few of my military experiences are:

• Primary member of the Train, Advise, Assist Command (TAAC-E) Quick Reaction Force (QRF) platoon who conducted anti-terrorism measures around OB Fenty Afghanistan to deter enemy indirect and direct attacks.
• Trained and fought alongside the Polish Army, Romanian Army, Afghan National Army, and Ugandan Contractors to enhance our effectiveness against the enemy.
• Conducted over 25 deep searches at the vehicle entry control point (VECP) deterring import and export of contraband/intelligence in or out of the operating base.
• Participated in over 420 hours of of VECP operations which included strategically placing MAXXPROs to divert multiple known VBIEDs away from OB Fenty.
• Conducted risk assessments on a daily basis to determine which operating points needed to be fortified to better protect soldiers operating at the OPs.
• Provided first aid and medical assistance to injured personnel during high-stress situations.
