UMBC-bound

I was recently hired by the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) as a Police Officer II, despite receiving a rejection from the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office (PGSO). This was a difficult experience because I gave it my best with PGSO, but I am grateful for the opportunity to work at such a prestigious educational institution.

Starting a new job is always an exciting time, and I am especially looking forward to starting at the UMBC Police Department. The university is known for its academic excellence and its commitment to diversity and inclusion. I am confident that I will find many opportunities to learn and grow.

In my new role as a police officer, I will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of students, faculty, staff and visitors by keeping them safe in an educational environment. I am also excited to collaborate with other talented and dedicated fellow police officers, many of them with backgrounds from the Baltimore Police Department and Baltimore School Police Department.

While I was disappointed to be rejected by PGSO, I am now grateful for the opportunity to work for the UMBC Police Department. I believe that this is a better fit for my skills and interests, and I am excited to start this new chapter in my career. A huge benefit I'm excited about is potentially getting my master's degree for free and having my kids enrolled in college for free as well.

I start later this month.
