As a police officer communication is key. Protocols are used every day and in every situation. From dealing with the mentally ill, victims of violent or nonviolent crimes or just everyday citizens asking for help. Protocol and customs have assisted with dealing with victims of violent assaults (stabbings/domestic assaults) and sexual assault (rape victim). The customs and protocols used daily assist in dealing with extremely stressful situations and providing a sense of comfort to victims of crime. As a member of the Town of Herndon police department worked to set up a highly successful recruiting event. Recruiting events allowed for me to demonstrate the high level of professionalism, and communications skills displayed by every officer in the department. Recruiting also required effective and concise communications across several levels of city and state agencies to ensure available space, materials and funding is available. Directly contributed to official police ceremonies (promotions, honors and awards) and ensured that official customs and protocols were followed to promote department morale. Briefed high-level ranking members of the police department in official written and verbal briefings to advise on best possible actions and policies to follow.
