Why is Public Service important to you?

“I enjoy the opportunity to assist the citizens of my County in their time of need.  I grew up watching the police running to situations that may have been inherently dangerous and wanted to be one of them.  I enjoy proactive police work as well as interacting with my community.  I cherish the responsibility of being the officer someone calls when they are at their time of greatest need and enjoy the challenges that responsibility often presents.”
