[jenniferlynn]

Good Morning,
To you that believe a professor would not allow me to conduct a chat interview I have attached my professors email address along with phone number for any of you to contact to verify that 'chat interviews' are allowed. Thank You

Professors email: miriammoore@email.phoenix.edu
Professors phone number: 321-536-9546

My name is Jennifer Campbell, I am a third year college student, I have my AA in criminal justice and am currently pursuing my BS in criminal justice administration. My current class, policing practice and theory, is requiring that I conduct two police interviews. I would like to conduct the interviews through email preferably (or on this site) seeing as I am a full time college student, work overnights full time, and have two small children... I honestly have limited time therefore email would be the most convenient. I am hoping that one of you would be able to assist me in obtaining two officer interviews through email. If at least two of you could email me at the below mentioned email address of jolyn38 at hotmail . com (the site will not let me post urls therefore I had to write my email address like this) I would truly appreciate it! Please assist me in this, thank you and have a great day. Also, my paper is due Wednesday (yes, it is cutting it close yet I among with others was under the impression it was not due until next Monday!!!) so it is extremely important that I conduct these interviews fairly quickly, hopefully today. Again, thank you. Below I have listed the questions that I intend to ask for the interviews. Again, thank you.

Most requests like yours are automatically rejected, but I can see you have a plate full. Having gone through college by working full time too, I can be sympathetic. I'd love to help you, but I've been retired about 11 years now and probably not what your professor wants.

My, they do want you to ask some dumb questions though, don't they?

Required Questions
1. Why did you become a police officer?
Sorry, no answers from me that could be blatantly plagiarized for an Oral board.
Did you find what you expected? Why or why not?
Yes and no. You never really know EVERYTHING the job entails until you do it. Even then, as soon as you think you've seen/heard/experienced it all (or even a lot), something will come along and surprise the heck out of you.

2. What are the worst parts of your job? Why?
Off the top of my head, among many other things, tragedies involving fellow LEOs and babies/kids. Dealing with Stupidity (which is all too prevalent in society as a whole, everywhere in society).

3. What are the best parts of your job? Why?
I really enjoy some of my collateral duties - teaching/instructing/etc. I can help save one of my partners' lives and/or career.

4. Would you recommend policing as a career to others? Why or why not?
Only if they truly want to do the job - not just because they got nothing else going on.

5. Based on your experience, what level of education do you think police applicants should be required to possess? Why?
I'm fine with a HS diploma for entry level - problem is that not all high schools or high school educations are equivalent. Some people have a really terrible time with written communication.

6. Did you feel that there was a lot of hazing as a "rookie"/ new officer on the force? Why?
Not for me but I know it happens. On the flip side, some people are quick to blame others/other things when they themselves are substandard in performance.

7. What were your biggest fears when you first started the job? Where those fears confirmed?
Not gonna say it - not gonna jinx it.

8. What are your biggest fears now? Why?
Same as before. Everyone's will be different but if you ask enough people, you will see some of the same ones coming back up.

You should go on some ridealongs...
