IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT BEING A POLICE OFFICER?

Posted byBOLDMINDS LLCPosted inE-BooksTags:, , , ,

For the last 17 years, I have heard thousands of question and even more suggestions on what can been done to improve the quality of life for people in the City of New Haven. Many of them have been good and many have been implemented. I have personally been a part of the positive change in the city and continue to strive to improve our public safety methods to insure that all Americans are provided the highest quality of public safety.

However, I and others can not do this alone. We need you help. We need you to step up to the plate and be apart of the change you want to see. Maybe you are a parent and have a son or daughter 21 years or older who would want an exciting career. You may be in the middle of switching your career and are looking for something more meaningful. Or, maybe you are tired of just talking about the issues and have decided it is time to take action.

 

Be apart of our team. “Team Work makes the Dream Work!”
