Hello everyone, while I wait to be the appropriate age to attend the POST academy, I’ve been studying the administration of Justice and decided to partake in a paid cadet position at the police department I plan to be at as an officer, is there anything that I should be aware of beforehand that could help me in my journey like unwritten rules, etc. (Im 19)

Great question! It's great to hear that you're preparing for a law enforcement career. I always tell this to trainees, it is to ask questions. If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask questions. It's better to ask than to make a mistake.

Network. Get to know the other officers and staff. They can provide valuable insights and advice. But before you can do that, keep in mind to always be professional. Remember that you are representing the department, so always strive to be professional, courteous, and respectful.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!
