Nestor F. Benavides

A very adaptable individual determined to learn everything required to make me an accomplished employee. Trained in police tactics, Communication skills, Medical Emergency Response, Crime Prevention, Undercover operations, and Suspect Pursuance and Arrest. My extensive background work with the NYPD combined with my education in criminal justice has made me a critical thinker and a very good problem solver. My work as an Undercover Auxiliary Police Officer and community service has given me the privilege to view interactions between the community and the police from behind the curtains and from a first-hand point of view. I am fully committed to upholding the law and making sure everyone is treated with the utmost respect and equality. I aim to put all my skills to work and to learn and succeed when faced with any challenge.
