Writing Consultant Resume Example

I hope to become a member of the law enforcement community in order to uphold our national, state and local laws. I wish to improve the public's view of police officers as supportive and active members of society who are invested in justice and the well-being of their community, and have spent my final year at Regis researching and creating an action-based proposal to improve community relations. A current interest is to create and implement a specialty task force to handle mental illness and disability calls. My ultimate career objective is to become a canine (K9) officer. My interest in being a police officer stems from my upbringing around my grandfather and three uncles, who are all law enforcement officials. I wish to be the first female of my family to join the law enforcement career.
