To whom it may concern,
My name is Damian and I am writing in reference to the Entry Level Police Officer job position with Colorado Springs Police Department. I have recently graduated from Saint Leo University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice, specialization in Homeland Security. My final GPA was 3.6, which allows me to apply to the Delta Epsilon Sigma Honor Society. I am interested in finding out more information about the application process and requirements for becoming a member of your team.
At present, I work as the Lumber /Building Material Supervisor for the Lake Zurich, Illinois Home Depot. Through this position, I cross-train associates to increase their product knowledge, customer relations skills and efficiency of job description; I am also responsible for reviews, labor management, inventory control, safety, loss-prevention, merchandising and the integrity of the aisles.
I am enthusiastic about continuing opportunities with Colorado Springs Police Department. I have attached my resume for your review and consideration. I realize that a resume alone cannot accurately predict my contribution as a Police Officer; therefore I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Regards,
Damian Martin
