Sheriff Fernando Realyvasquez

  Sheriff Realyvasquez is part of the Pacifica Police Department.  In class he spoke about the most important key into wanting to be part of this career and its, “One thing that will take you down is your past history. Staying out of trouble is the key of becoming and officer.” I believe that is true because in any career field you go into it is important to understand that any action you do at work or outside in your social life is that not only do you represent yourself but also the career you are representing.  The enjoying parts about class are that every speaker that comes in talk about a memorable event in there while on the job. Whether it’s from murder cases, car chases, near death experiences, etc they make sure you know what you are getting into but only because it is the career you consider pursing.  Personally for me the class is extremely helpful because I always make sure I talk to the officer who attends class after he is done speaking, and getting contact information because it is always important to network with people who can help me down in the future.

Steve Hendal SMC Sheriff

I listened to the speaker Steve Hendal San Mateo County Sheriff. What I learned was the approaching of how to get into Law Enforcement. It is important to me to know what qualifications I need to get into this career. To avoid not getting hired you need to have a clean record, and not smoke marijuana knowing it is a main concern for people in this generation. The requirements are to have a college degree in Administration of Criminal Justice, complete 6 hour written test, psychological test, and have good memorization. I learned the three things about this career is that it involves a emotional disorder, high rates of divorce, and alcoholism can cause serious death. Listening to these speakers help me because it advise me how to be prepared for an interview for a job in Law enforcement specifically for the Police Department.

Probation officer Victor Aguilar

 Victor Aguilar works for the San Mateo County in the adult probation department. He began at the age of 20 at the Juvenille Hall while attending college. Has been with the San Mateo County since 2002. My experience sitting in class while listening to him speak was that I might want to consider going into the Juvenile Hall as a probation officer. This has made me look into different fields in the Law Enforcement career. Not only to become a cop but consider becoming a Probation officer for the Juvenille . I have grown up in South city my entire life and I have seen kids I have grown up with turn to wanting to live out in the streets. Whether it was for selling drugs, joining gangs, or becoming pregnant I have witnessed it all. It is crazy to think how kids turn out to be as they hit their teen age years. It is why i will consider the job as a Probation officer for the Juvenille because I don't want to continue seeing kids who I am surrounded by go down the wrong path when they can become something grander in life.
