Recommended: Effective communication skills for police

Completing the State Highway Patrol internship was an amazing experience. My very first Day being an intern, my Mentor Trooper Bachelor Took me to the Training academy there I met many different people I was able to talk to a state recruiter.Also I was able to see the cadets and see a little bit of their training.
Also I was able to go to NCSHP defensive drivers training which I was blown away at house intense the drivers traning is, but I realized that it has to be difficult in order for them to be ready to drive when they graduate.

One of my favorite Task was defensive tactics because, me and another intern was able to take part in the simulator. It gave me a clips into how I would feel to be a part of the Patrol. On my second day of me being a State Highway Patrol intern my Trooper took me to the communication center, where I got to see for myself the "heart" …show more content…

Me and my and my Trooper had of amazing conversation. We talked about my goals in life, school, work, and of course the Patrol. I was able to see how he writes tickets and what goes on during a wreck. One time Trooper Bachelor stopped and woman for speeding and she was deaf, shockingly trooper Bachelor knew sign language and was able to communicate with her.

District Court an Superior Court Are different in so many ways. District Court was chaotic it was a lot of stuff going on the Judge was looking for Attorney’s, papers where everywhere.Superior Court was totally different they had a case going on and it was interring. I was able to hear both sides arguments to this day I still don't know if I would choose guilty or not guilty.

Jail facility tour was great I just didn't like the feeling of being in a jail and seeing how everything works. I know that I would never want to go back again but my Trooper made it a lot easier for me to get through the tour and made sure I understood everything that was going

  • Michael Williams Case Study

    1859 Words  | 4 Pages

    at work I have learned that I have to treat them with respect in order to receive respect in return. When that respect isn’t there, expect to have a long and stressful day. I was told that that you will have some inmates who will talk to you in a disrespectful manner because they want to have the authority of everyone. When this takes place, you have to sternly put your foot down and make it known who the officer is and who the inmate is. Some inmates think just because you know them you will be easy on them that is never the case. If you feel uncomfortable with dealing with someone you know just get another officer to take your place with that. He explained a situation where a young man he was in karate class with had entered the facility with a drug charge, it was going around that he was going to give the young man special treatment so instead of that being a possible accusation he called for a replacement. He also had gone back to the respect aspect of the conversation saying that the main reason why that is enforced is because; these males and females are human. They have families living on the outside as well as they do have the possibility of getting out and who knows since he is at a county facility it is more common to see people that he went to school with, lived near etc. So for his safety and his family’s family he is mindful and is very professional when at work and

  • Personal Narrative Essay: Getting A Police Ride Along

    1718 Words  | 4 Pages

    Getting a police ride along isn’t the easiest form of interview to get. It took me a two week process so I can set up a date to do a ride along. The process includes a background check and the reason why I wanted to do a ride along. The officer gave a strict dress code that I had to follow for that day. Police departments have been stricter on who can do a ride along because there have been incidents were citizens attack the officers while doing the ride along. That is the reason why it takes a while until they approve that you can get one.

    The Unites States Marshals service has been a very beneficial internship. The Marshals were all very nice and informative. They had me taking care of the front desk. More days than not, there was filing of medical papers for the year 2015 and the year 2016. Some people have a large stack of papers because they are always needing medical attention while in custody. The next thing I do is answer the phone. This happens to be one of the more interesting tasks. You really never know who it is going to be or what they are going to say. If needed, I transfer the individuals to other people whom can help them. I also attend court hearings throughout the day. These hearings can be from many different

  • Internship Experience: Challenges and Ethical Insights

    946 Words  | 2 Pages

    The internship was very rewarding physically and mentally. I worked hard in extreme conditions I had never expected, and I learned new laboratory techniques and used equipment I have only read about. Aerial missions were always a treat; who doesn 't want to check the weekly schedule to see helicopter duty assigned? The most important aspects of my internship had little to do with science, however. My internship allowed me to observe county employees and leaders from a position in which I could observe without altering behavior. Due to my role as an intern, and the underlying feeling that interns are inconsequential, I was able to see and hear many interesting things that have forced me to examine my personal ethics code and my assumptions

  • Personal Narrative: Senior Patrol Leader

    How am I a leader? The best place to find examples of me being a leader comes from the Boy Scouts. As a boy scout I was the SPL (Senior Patrol Leader) for my troop for a year and a half. What it means to be a Senior Patrol Leader is that basically you run the troop because Boy Scouts prides itself on being boy lead. An example for what I would do as SPL was I would plan out the meeting agenda for each of our weekly meetings. To go along with this process I would have to either delegate one of the older scouts to teach a skill each week to the younger scouts or teach that skill myself. I would also have to keep the boys from getting out of line because I primarily led middle school aged boys. Another Example of my leadership skill is my journey

    The road not taken is a poem about a person who has to make a difficult choice on which path to take, whether it means an actual path or a life choice, I do not know. What I do know is that I have underwent a similar scenario in May, when my mom died. I could’ve just been sad like most normal kids, but instead I chose to quickly find ways to numb the pain, and I tried everything I possibly could, it ranged from getting drunk with my friends to doing drugs, but one day, I decided to come to school drunk, because I figured that since I haven’t gotten caught yet then I wouldn’t get caught at all, but I was stupid, I was drunk and high, and everybody instantly knew it, so soon after that I got called down to the office, and was asked to take a breathalyzer and a drug test, of course I failed both.

    I often think of Robert Frost’s phrase, “I took the road less traveled by” when brushing against dirt, rocks, or grass on a trail. While following a single stretch of a path, whether that road leads in a curve or in a straight line, I notice a myriad of branches to trails that I normally classify as detours. Is that what Robert Frost means when he says he traveled a road less traveled by others?
