Independent Component 1
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Copy of my Diamond Bar/Walnut Sheriff's Department Civilian Volunteer Application
Temporary volunteer ID issued January 31, 2012
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
LITERAL: I, Stephné Poole, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
Starting on November 8, 2011, I have been a civilian volunteer at the Diamond Bad/Walnut Sheriff's Station. I work with Sergeant Marc Saldecke, with whom I also conducted my first and second interview with. Most of my time consists of entering data on Excel, such as volunteer sign-ins and hours, creating and filing files for other volunteers, and helping set up outside activitives for the sheriffs.
INTERPRETIVE: I have gone beyond the time requirement for Independent Component 1 and have completed 63 hours. By working at the Diamond Bar/Walnut Sheriff's Department, I was able to be around people who deal with crime everyday, and ask different people (detectives, sergeants, etc) what their take on how crime occurs is.
APPLIED: As stated in my previous "Service Learning" post, my service learning hasn't been what I was hoping it would be. Although I have used being surrounded by police as an opportunity to ask questions about my EQ, crime rates, and jobs related to this field, the overall work hasn't been enough to help me with my senior project or with answering my EQ, I feel. I have been trying to find new places to do my service learning, such as a Forensic ROP class, but it seems that it has either already started or is no longer available in my area. My next step would be to try law firms, etc.
