Being a Correctional Officer for the State of Texas has been truly a teaching and encouraging experience due to all that I have encountered. From simply de-escalating a situation with an inmate because of a pair of socks to having to combat a riot with over a hundred inmates in one wing, with one officer and myself. Which iswhy I desire to become a police officer for the City of Victoria
