I have concluded that I wish to pursue my studies at Guelph-Humber University because it offers a wide range of studies that are important when it comes to pursuing a career as a police officer. Guelph-Humber offers a prestigious line up of learning platforms including newly advanced opportunities for education on new problems in society like cybercrime which are an advanced criminal issue that requires a complex understanding of the concern considering that I will likely encounter this in my line of work in the future. I will have a unique opportunity if I can attend this university to become diverse in my field of study offering me the chance to pursue my career more capably when my courses are completed. Dr. Gary Ellis, who is the program head at the University of Guelph-Humber, indicates on the page explaining the required curriculum that “The field of justice is changing immensely. With greater awareness of how various parts of society intersect has come a new focus on the justice system as a whole. We have cybercrime, we have an aging population, we have globalization, we have migrating populations, and we have new expectations of how these pieces should work together.” I agree whole heartedly that these skills are essential for all up and coming law enforcement to have a complex understanding of and this university offers the curriculum needed to develop these necessary skills.
These classes will provide the educational aspect I need and I can attribute my academic success to hard work and the information I attained from this University. Einstein once said “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” I feel that this quote represents my opportunity to study at the University that can offer me the most advanced opportunities like yours does. I am the fish and this university is the ocean of opportunities for me to conquer. To be anywhere else would be like asking a fish to climb a tree and calling the fish stupid upon its failure. This fish belongs in a position serving his community as a police officer. The chance of being a part of Guelph-Humber University is like a chance at falling in the stream that will lead me to the ocean of opportunity that can best represent me as one of the top people available in the criminal justice system which is what I long for. I am a genius in this field and capable of accomplishing any task even ones that make me look like a fish out of water for the chance to find my way to where I have always belonged. I look forward to future correspondence with you and the opportunity to attend your prestigious university so I can learn to swim with the best.
What are some extracurricular activities that contribute to your personal development as a citizen?
I have been very active in developing the citizenship traits needed to become an exemplary part of the criminal justice system. To achieve the highest level of success that I am capable of in the field that has been a dream of mine since childhood I need to have the right tools for success. I feel after much consideration that the tools I have been looking for exist within the courses that are available through Guelph-Humber University. If I am given the opportunity to learn from your academic support team I will make the very as an equal in their eyes because I can bring something to the table that is just as important as there years of experience on the job making me a valuable asset to my future employer. I am motivated daily by the inspiration of the dream that I will one day graduate from your university at the top of my class putting me one step closer to my ultimate life goal. If I were to get into this university the position I fill will not be wasted as I am determined to be successful in every aspect of my studies. Working with the community and as a security guard has taught me above all else honor is most important and so one of the most important parts of every day for me is making sure I do everything with pride and honor and to the fullest of my capabilities because the citizens I will one day protect deserve no less than the best. Through my experience as a Loss Prevention Investigator and Security Officer, I have dealt effectively with a variety of law enforcement related situations. These include communicating and building relations with the public as well as responding to emergency calls (fire, bomb threats, theft, etc.); detecting and apprehending customers engaged in fraudulent activities; liaising with management, Police Officers and other law environment agencies; writing reports; and operating security equipment. Currently performing my obligations, I have verifiably held fast to all guidelines, regulations, strategies and methods while exhibiting the level of duty, mindfulness and tirelessness to guarantee the wellbeing of general society/clients while likewise securing the benefits and properties of the Company. Subsequently, I have gained the civility, strategy, and level of professionalism needed to be an active part of the York Regional Police which I have had the chance to volunteer for. This volunteer work provided me the opportunity to be included in different diverse errands in the group incorporating dynamic support in group occasions and offering wrongdoing aversion tips, enlistment, organization obligations and considerably more to both officers and auxiliaries. the York Regional police volunteer position has imparted me with an incredible profound respect for the officers who serve this group and a profound yearning to not just turn into a piece of this praiseworthy group yet to have the abilities expected to be a commendable officer with York as an exceptional colleague that has something new to offer them. Attending the courses that have been carefully designed at Guelph-Humber University would be an opportunity that could provide the education that when paired with my persistence would help me achieve this ultimate goal. I am interested in not only being part of this school but also in becoming an outstanding example for future students as I am committed to striving for excellence with achievements that can be including on my resume that I can only attain here. I vow to be diligent in my studies and dedicated to success which will honor me as well as the university.
Why did you find it important to repeat courses?
There are many reasons why a student might repeat a course, when I repeated University English it was to achieve a higher mark so I might be granted an opportunity to attend Guelph-Humber University. While repeating this course I learned that it is important to develop these skills for my career field choice as it requires a lot of report writing and note taking to do a great job as an officer. I wanted to excel at every aspect of my future career and this was an essential one as my colleagues and I will depend on the reports I write and notes I take for future analysis of cases. When in the profession of law enforcement proper writing is critical as courts and other officers will use this information to build a case and in the end prosecute offenders and achieve convictions. Any fault that can be discovered in a case or report could potentially cost the prosecution and end in the accused party being let of because of an inaccurate report which may have important evidence noted inside that will not be allowed in the court for evidence if the information is incorrect and or misleading. The decision to repeat University English offered me the chance to develop a greater understanding of English and learn how to apply it to my future career as well as the importance of having a developed understanding of this skill. I possess the capability to accomplish anything I put my mind to however for English I felt that I needed to really develop these skills further for not only my success but the success of a career police officer that the community depends on. As a child growing up, I developed a deep admiration of Policing and its importance to our communities. Much of what I have learnt about being a productive Police Officer came from officers who patrolled my community. This early exposure has provided me with a good understanding of the roles, responsibilities and importance of Police Officers in serving our community, thus, reinforcing my ambition to be a part of this. I live by the motto that luck is when preparation meets opportunity therefore I plan ahead and work tirelessly toward each and every goal I have set for myself. English was one of the instances where I required preparation for the opportunity of a lifetime to serve as an officer in the York community. Above all my ultimate goal is to work alongside fellow officers who have proven there selves long before me. I had the chance to work in conjunction with these officers and emergency personnel to accomplish first response services including handling bomb threats, power failures, accidents and apprehension of shoplifters for the store that I was a loss prevention officer at. I also assisted patrons that were in need and I am sure that this is the path I belong on. I have given one hundred and fifty per cent in all of my tasks so that I can one day earn my place beside the fine officers of York. with the help I will receive from your university I truly believe I will be able to apply this same effort and dedication to a career that will protect so much more than only my own future but other citizens of York as well. I do hope you will take the time to consider not only my prior experience but also my prior education, hard work, skills, determination and overall worthiness to become a part of your successful team of students and have the opportunity to learn from what I consider to be the best in the field that I wish to go into. I am eager to hear back from you and appreciate your time and consideration.
