OBJECTIVE I am seeking a full time position where I can utilize my experience,

problem solving and investigative skills. My education, military
background and law enforcement training have given me the discipline
and work ethic to adapt to diverse challenges. I can be successful in a team
environment or working alone. I will accept any task and follow through
to resolution.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
6/07 to 7/09 DynCorp International
International Police Advisor-Iraq
I mentored and advised senior Iraqi Officers in proper operation of a police department. I
provided training in Community Policing, Administration, Maintenance,
Investigations, Logistics, and Command and Control of the Iraqi Police to
the command staff through formal classroom training and informal
meetings. I trained Iraqi Police in basic law enforcement techniques to
develop and improve the professionalism of the Iraqi Police Service. I also
assisted the Team Leader with various administrative and logistical
requirements to assist in providing vital life support and welfare needs to
Police Advisors within the area of operations.
7/05 to 5/07 Flametemers Fire Extinguisher Company, Gurnee, Illinois
Field Service Technician
I installed and inspected fire extinguishers, commercial kitchen fire suppression
equipment and emergency lighting equipment to comply with local and
state code. As a field service technician, it was necessary to have excellent
communication skills and technical proficiency to be successful.

Police Officer
I was tasked with the enforcement of federal, state and local laws and ordinances. I
received and investigated complaints and accurately recorded the facts. I
aggressively patrolled and identified trouble areas within my jurisdiction. I
prepared reports to reflect my observations and findings for possible
 testimony in criminal and civil court proceedings. I was assigned as an
advisor for the Mundelein Explorer program to provide guidance to
teenagers who were interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement. I
attended specialty training in Gang Interdiction and Identification,
Impaired Driver Identification, Child Seat Installation, and Critical
Incident Stress Management. To be effective as a patrol officer it was
important to display a command presence, react calmly under stressful
situations, and an ability to work with people of different cultures,
education levels, and financial status.

I performed duties of a Ground Radio Repair Technician. I repaired communications

trained as a prisoner escort.
SUMMARY I believe I have the necessary tools to be an asset in any position I am put
in. I will put dedication, integrity, and tenacity in any task I am given and I
will produce quality results.
