Important tips from the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office!

In The News: In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a concerning shortage of police officers, with 160 vacant positions and a population of 411,000, has intensified public safety concerns. Mayor G.T. Bynum addressed the negative portrayal of officers in the media, emphasizing its impact on recruitment and the careers of existing officers. This shortage is a national issue, reflected in a 4% decline in law enforcement jobs from March 2020 to August 2022. Challenges include low applicant numbers, poor applicant quality, background check disqualifications, generational differences, and increased scrutiny on law enforcement. At GoJoe Patrol, we recognize the need for tailored security solutions amid this shortage. We do this by offering various services to enhance community safety without aiming to replace the police.

Good opportunity here

We are hiring at the Ankeny Police Department. Below, you see the great benefits, salary, opportunities, and incentives.   Honest talk: no amount of money is worth the sacrifices made when becoming a police officer. In my opinion, officers should be paid an enormous amount of money, which is why I am not a city manager; my talents are better suited to law enforcement. Money is undoubtedly important as it provides stability and comfort. The salary you receive at the Ankeny Police Department will provide that stability and comfort. However, being paid well is only a small part of the job and cannot match the emotional, physical, and mental currency you will invest into the profession.   We are seeking individuals who will contribute positively to our culture, and help us maintain a successful, positive, and safe work environment. We want people who understand what they are getting into. Law enforcement is a different kind of job. On patrol, you won't get every other weekend off. Work/life balance is very important to our department, and we make every effort to make sure you achieve that balance. But sometimes, work will get in the way of life.   You will make a difference in someone's life and never know it. Some people you encounter will never change. You will enter a person's life during a difficult or uncomfortable situation and will be expected to show empathy, recognize dangerous situations, and stay safe, sometimes all at once. You will make mistakes, learn from your mistakes, be receptive to constructive criticism, and continue improving. We hold each other accountable, and you will be expected to do your job every day, not sit on the sidelines. Once you're a part of our organization, it becomes your organization - we're all on the same team. You will become part of a team where the leadership has experienced how it feels to work non-stop, responding to call after call without being able to leave work at the scheduled time. That same leadership understands and knows the sacrifices each officer makes and will never take your commitment to serve and protect for granted.    Along with everything I mentioned above, you will receive some great gifts: pride, satisfaction, praise, commitment, dedication, and honor. You will smile, laugh, and love the people around you.   This is a different kind of job. Is this for you? Join the Ankeny Police Department.

There are a lot of various "jobs" within the Law Enforcement Profession. There's patrol, investigations, communications, crime scene, traffic investigation, aircraft and marine operations...Just to name a few. The one common "job" for every Law Enforcement Officer out there, no matter their assignment is, the preservation of life. Now, sometimes that means going into a chaotic, heartbreaking scene and doing whatever needs to be done. Like, a child on the floor, not breathing. Mother and Father screaming and begging for you, the cop, to save their child. You get down to doing the very core of your job...Trying to save this innocent life. Your body screams from the ardeous cycles of C.P.R. you're performing. But, you don't even think about it. You just keep going. As the Fire/EMS folks arrive, you stand back up and let them do what they do. The mom, dad and other family members are all still crying and begging for any miracle they can be afforded. In that moment, there's a look that only the Officers who've been there can understand. It's a look we give one another, without a spoken word or gesture. And yet, so much is said. I stopped counting the child critical injury or fatality scenes I've been involved in, years ago. When I hit the two dozen mark, I just couldn't count them anymore. I just couldn't. Of all the "jobs", ranks and assignments I've had in this profession, from Night Shift Patrol to Chief, I've never lost sight what I was really here for. It wasn't for writing tickets or putting people in jail. Though over the years, I've certainly done my fair share of both. My job, any cops job for that matter is, rightfully so, to preserve life. And, even when those lives we fight so hard to save, leave this world, every cop should walk away knowing, I did my absolute best to do the one damn thing I'm actually here for... To try with all I have within me to save every person, no matter whom they may be, from dying on my watch. All the other "jobs" we have are well, just jobs. It's saving every life at risk we can, that is at the very core of what every Law Enforcement Officer should do. Such moments, never leave you. I am fairly certain, most officers would agree with me. Such moments always drove me to try harder, to work harder, study harder. And to never, ever lose sight of why I was here, in the first place. And, that my friends isn't just a "job." It never has been. It never will be.

How I wish Law Enforcement Officers many acts of heroism, bravery, and superior performance that are performed daily got the media attention that the very few acts of wrong doing get. These #Officers from the New York City Police Department did not hesitate to enter this dangerous apartment fire, risking great injury to themselves, to rescue a trapped women as well as extinguish the fire before it could do more harm. Since the media will not give events like this the attention they deserve, it is up the Law Enforcement Leaders across the United States to spread the word and push these stories of heroism and service beyond self out to the public when they occur within their jurisdictions. If we do not proactively define the narrative of what policing is, the activists and agenda driving politicians with no understanding of the realities of law enforcement will. Therefore continuing the flow of disinformation about the profession and harming law enforcements reputation and standing within our communities. #police #policeofficer #officer #lawenforcement #policedepartment #policechief #sheriff #deputy #cops #nypd #cop #copscountpolicematter #policingmatters #policing #heroism #bravery #publicsafety #communitysafety #protectandservice #selflessservice International Association of Chiefs of Police Police Executive Research Forum Major Cities Chiefs Association National Police Chiefs' Council National Policing Institute TEEX - Institute for Law Enforcement and Protective Services FBI National Academy Associates, Inc.

My latest for Police1 : no one really knows what they don't know, but writing is a really good way to find out. Read about the things I've learned since I started writing about policing, and tell me what's new to you. #writer #policing #lawenforcement #workplaceculture #law #policy #standardization #humanresources #benefits #pay https://lnkd.in/gfvda-Te
