Ryan Swami

Hayward,CA

Summary

I want to become a BART police officer because I am committed to serving and protecting the community I grew up in. I am proud to be born and raised in the city of Hayward which is rich in cultural diversity that said at the same time, the whole community comes together when a situation arises, being self-aware of what is going on in my community, I’m driven by a sense of passion, duty, integrity, and the desire to make a positive difference in people's lives. Law enforcement offers the opportunity to help others in meaningful ways, uphold justice, possibly make a change or saving someone’s life, and maintain public safety. I’m also drawn to the challenge and responsibility the role requires—working under pressure, problem-solving in real time, and being a trusted presence in times of need.
