“Over the past year in the Student Officer Program, I have learned many things about law enforcement and myself as a person.  Being a Squad Leader, I have learned skills that have help me become a better leader and role model.   These skills include communication, inter-department cooperation, and teambuilding with peers, coworkers, and the general public.”
                 – 2nd Year Student Officer


"As a student officer, my main responsibility is to become an extra set of “eyes and ears” for the university officers. This role has undoubtedly allowed me to attain a level of leadership in the campus community. I am able to not only represent the university through my employment, but become a positive role model for students who may be inclined to lose sight of their future goals. The student officer position has allowed me to use my leadership skills in reporting acts of deviance, such as vandalism, as well as maintain community relationships with the entire campus by offering educational advice as to why certain acts and behaviors are prohibited."
