Vermont Police Academy
I have always had passion and drive to help people and make a difference in the community. I am planning to become a police officer because I feel like that is where I can do the most good and make a positive impact on the community. For me, being a police officer isn’t all about arresting the “bad guys.” I want to be an advocate for victims of crime, connect people to the resources they need to be successful, and problem solve and de-escalate potentially dangerous situations.Champlain focuses on teaching students to listen to all of the facts, assess a situation, and problem solve. At Champlain, there is a lot of emphasis on communicating with faculty and staff, classmates, and peers. There is also emphasis on being a community. I feel like I am working with my classmates, rather than competing against them.
I had to interview a “suspect” as my final exam in Investigative Interviewing. We had to apply what we learned throughout the semester and interview the professor, who played the person suspected of committing a crime. It was a unique experience and also useful because, as a police officer, I will be interviewing multiple people who are suspects, witnesses, victims, and others.
I am the captain of the Women’s Rugby Team with one of my closest friends. As the captain, I have the unique opportunity to be a leader and teach new players about rugby while also expanding my knowledge. We practice twice a week, and I am always excited to go to practice and see everyone. It’s a great way to make new friends and stay active. I have so many lifelong friends because of our shared passion for rugby and our team.
