Sample Essay Submission

My name is Joel Thomas with the Bethany Police Department. I am the chief of police for a crew of 25 officers. We also work closely with local first responders at crime scenes. We are in need of a safety training program for our entire department to ensure procedural alignment between seasoned officers and newer officers straight out of the academy.

I also know that the first responders in our community are also in need of new PPE Kits to protect themselves as the first individuals to respond to a crime scene. However, because of recent budget cuts, our teams cannot afford effective training and new kits. We believe that we can better serve our community with access to a comprehensive safety training program for our officers and PPE Kits for our frontline colleagues.
