Within my role as a Police Officer, I have been exposed to a number of significant situations that required quick and tactfully decision making. This role has made me competent in a number of disciplines including investigative pathways, effective and accurate record keeping, emergency response driving and training junior officers. I can confidently display sound judgment under pressure when making critical decisions that impact public safety during emergency situations. This role has seen me working both unsupervised and within a tight-knit team. This role has made me enjoy working in fast paced environments. I strive to create a significant quantity of quality work.

This role sees me respond to a vast array of emergency incidents. Again, being exposed to time sensitive matters has allowed me to become a quick witted critical thinker to make impactful decisions.

I am competent in the use of various fire extinguishing agents.
