My advice to someone looking to come work for the SPD is to do their research and come see what this job is about. Ride-alongs show the big picture of what officers deal with on a daily basis.
SPD is the only agency I have ever worked for, but from friends/co-workers that have left to go to other agencies, I typically hear that we are much better overall. From the community aspects and the friendships I have made, to the workforce development that is put into each person.
I love getting to work the calls that are meaningful to both me and the citizen. When I see someone I've helped months down the road and they remember me, even run up and give me a hug. That's why I started this job in the first place.
Before I was promoted, I worked most of my career on patrol. I did a four-year stint at the Missouri State University substation, where I spent many hours on bicycle patrol and taught classes on campus safety. I currently am on second shift. I have moved to the Traffic 3 squad, which is our night shift Hazardous Moving Violation squad. We focus on DWIs, HMVs and traffic accidents.
