I am writing to express my interest in becoming a park police officer. Given my experience, education and interests, I believe I would be a perfect candidate for the job, and I would bring a lot to the force. I currently carry an Associate’s Degree in criminal justice, and I have years of experience under my belt in security. My security certificates also allude to my skill in law enforcement.
I have wanted to become a police officer ever since I was a child – seeing cops on the street, protecting citizens and doing their part, I wanted to be able to be a part of that. Since then, it was always in the back of my mind, and when it came time to pick a career, I knew deep down I wanted to be a park police officer.
A good police officer is courageous, dutiful, honest, and thorough. They must be strong enough to go into danger, yet gentle enough to recognize a situation for what it is and act accordingly. Prudence and patience allow a good police officer to size up a scenario and determine what is the best course of action.
Policework can often be rewarding – the satisfaction of saving a life and the peace that comes from knowing that you are protecting people make me extremely grateful for this opportunity. It has always been one of my wildest dreams to become a park police officer, and I hope that I am granted that amazing opportunity.
Thank you for your consideration.
