Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a reputable and well-trained law enforcement professional who was a
dedicated former public servant for twenty years. Presently, I am seeking a
transition into a career that would allow me to utilize my specialized
skills and education in the areas of Investigation, Leadership,
Administration, and Personnel Training and Development.
I am a proactive individual, eager to join a corporate or public
administration environment where I can contribute to organizational
objectives and continue to achieve professional growth.
Mu experience includes the following:
- Evaluation of criminal, fraud and theft investigations, security,
interviewing, verbal and non-verbal body language interpretation,
and personnel training development through 20+ years of combined
experience as a Detective and Police Officer within the New York
City Police Department.
- Risk assessment, coupled with developed intuition. Equally strong
in researching security effectiveness and structure, with ability
to recognize all components of operations where appropriate.
- Demonstrated investigative strategies representing local government
and the public sector providing effective protection. Ability to
develop productive relationships with personnel at all levels among
investigative sources and law enforcement agencies.
- Successful communication with superiors, colleagues, and the
general public.
Since a resume can neither fully detail my many skills and accomplishments
nor predict my potential to your agency, I would welcome the opportunity to
meet and discuss the possible merging of my talents and experience with
your organizational needs.
Very truly yours,
John R. Bakke
