ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
From 2014 to 2019, I was a Police Cadet for the Rocky Hill Police Department. As a cadet, I worked closely with police officers in the community, ran operations like special event management and traffic control. I learned how to work in high stress situations and working side by side with police officers, I learned everything there was to know how proper policing worked. I worked my way up to Sergeant, and managed other Cadets.
