I went to foot patrol training at a community policing center a few days ago. We walked around the neighbourhood, checking cars and observing people. We needed to be hyper-vigilant so that if something did happen, we could give the police a good description of the events and people involved. Also, we had to know exactly where we were at all times. 


We wore bright, yellow jackets that look similar to the police jackets. So a lot of people stopped us to ask questions and give information. I really enjoyed talking to people and re-assuring them that the police and volunteers are here to help. 


Volunteering has reinforced my desire to help protect people from danger. Also, it will increase my confidence even more, so that I can be the best police officer I know I am in my heart.

  1. Volunteer and/or work in dispatch for a while. It can give you the confidence/experience in dealing with people and having good relationships with the dispatchers (if you get hired at that dept.) will be golden for you in field training.
