Description
Summary I was employed with the Rockford Police Department from March 1997 to August 2017. During my time with the Rockford Police Department I achieved many career goals, and I feel as though I had a great career with the police department. The final 10 years of my career I was a Supervisor (Sergeant) where I worked different shifts and divisions. I retired from the Rockford Police Department, and I am looking for a profession that is different from my 20 years as a police officer. I am looking for a job which challenges me, as well as helps the community in a positive direction. As a Police Sergeant, I supervised police officers in the patrol division, I responded to major crimes against people and property, and I interacted with the community daily. In my administrative duties, I verified criminal reports and traffic reports submitted by officers. This ensured officers had the correct information in their reports for further prosecution or follow up with detectives. I investigated officers use of force to make sure the force used against citizens was proper and based on policy and procedure. I investigated citizen complaints against police officers. This investigation was necessary to either exonerate the officer, or determine the officer did not follow policy and procedure. If the officer violated policy and procedure when dealing with the citizens of Rockford, then the officer would be disciplined. I was responsible to complete employee yearly evaluations where I completed 6-8 evaluations yearly which measured the officer's attendance, knowledge of the job, self-initiated activity, and training. As a supervisor, I supervised newly hired officers in their probationary period. I followed the newly hired officers to their calls, I interacted with their training officers, and I reviewed their reports on daily basis to make sure the newly hired officers were retaining the information to be a police officer. I am a person who works well with others, I communicate well one on one, as well with others in a group setting. I have worked with computer programs such as power point, excel, and word programs.
