Law Enforcement Personal Statement
About the author: I have worked in Law Enforcement for over 20 years, both as a Civilian as well as a Military member. Along with an extensive Law Enforcement background I also possess over 27 years of management, supervisory and Leadership experience. The passion and love I have for our Military members and L.E. personnel keeps me devoted to the cause of wanting them to have the best resources availed. Since so much responsibility is placed on men and women in uniform its truly important that they continue to have our unwavering support.

While serving, I have been fortunate to have conducted missions or missions related to L.E. in 7 countries and 5 states. During my service I have worked in a number of different capacities such as: protection, security, patrol, special operations, SRT, corrections, physical security, personal security, training as well as a few other fields. While working in these capacities I was afforded the unique ability to work intimately with individuals who come from a variety of areas that include: movie stars, pop stars, CEOs, Government Leaders, Military Leaders and Foreign Dignitaries.

I very much admire men and women who believe in a higher calling. I have a deep respect for those who are willing to put their lives in danger to protect those who may not be able to protect themselves. How awesomely honorable are those who serve and support their fellow humans? Most importantly, I am indebted to those who have given their lives for this cause. They have given us so many freedoms; our ability to walk down the street, go into a store, buy some milk, and then bring back home in peace is possible today because of the sacrifice. We move freely under the blanket of protection that uniformed members have provided for us. I can never thank you

Huggins (personal communication, August 2013).

This suggests that there are concerns to law enforcement personnel that are not associated with their work life but still hold the same weight, or even more, than the daily routine in…

    Special units in police forces are essential to the function of any organization, however some of these special units might evolve into feeling superior to the rest of the agency. The mentality of doing it their own way sets in and more likely than not this behavior is not cohesive with the policies and procedures in place by the agency. Unfortunately, this attitude develops from not being checked, and leads to the unit feeling as though they are untouchable. When not having checks and balances is coupled with a leader who exhibits signs of misconduct, the potential for more massive amounts of corruption and misconduct are more likely as portrayed in the movie “Training Day” starring Denzel Washington as a corrupt NARC unit commander.…
