在我作为达拉斯警察局的一名警官的工作中,没有两天是相同的,我喜欢帮助别人的机会。I and my fellow officers are there to serve citizens, one call at a time, and we appreciate the words of encouragement from the public.

The criminal justice professors at CLC were excellent in that they were very straightforward about what they expected.In discussions about controversial issues, they created an atmosphere in which everyone respected differing opinions. Besides the lectures and discussions, the firearms simulator at the Grayslake Campus was a practical way to learn how to respond to a variety of situations. CLC’s courses gave me a solid foundation for transfer to Western Illinois University.

Outside of class, a CLC field study trip to Spain and Portugal allowed me to practice the Spanish I learned in high school.Knowing how to speak the language has made it easier to relate to people in the Dallas area, where I work with a variety of ethnic groups.

After graduating from Western, I returned to CLC, where I spent six years with the CLC Police Department. I gained excellent experience, starting as a dispatcher and later becoming a community service officer. Later, when I joined the Dallas Police Department, I completed an eight-and-a-half month academy to learn practical, technical and legal aspects of the position.

My advice for new CLC students is to make sure you pay attention in class and do the homework.学生应该充分利用他或她的大学经历。把你的长期目标放在眼里:如果你愿意投入时间和精力,你可以做任何事情。
