“What I liked about being a school resource officer is the variety of the job and the impact you have on kids. I was the link between the schools and the police department.”

“I like the excitement of being a police officer. Every day is different. You never know what to expect when you go into work.”

“Every day I try to help someone. I try to help the people who can’t help themselves.”
