Human Resource Director:
I am interested in the armed security position with SCG. This position offers me an
opportunity to contribute my skills and extensive experience in a new complex field .
A copy of my resume is included for your review:
Over the past 4.5 years, I have worked for the Chicago Inspector General's Office
(IGO). I have supervised investigators, trained investigators, assisted investigators on
their cases, and worked with investigators on developing informants. On several
occasions, I worked in an undercover capacity in an effort to obtain evidence on corrupt
City officials. I was also assigned cases that I had to work through to completion.
Some cases were worked jointly with other investigators which culminated in
prosecution with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) while other cases upon
completion were successfully prosecuted in the Cook County States Attorney’s Office .
There were a number of other cases that were successfully terminated administratively.
As an armed security officer you will find me to be flexible, strategic minded and an
action-orientated team player. I am confident I will make an immediate and valuable
contribution to SCG. I look forward to discussing this position and my qualifications with
you. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerly,
Robert Montgomery
