2012 Official Results

 Roster for 2012 Baker to Vegas 

 

Target practice

 

 LITERAL: I, Stephné Poole, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work. Above is the 2012 Roster for Baker to Vegas.  I was involved by helping create posters for the marathon and compiling the Roster for Walnut Sheriff Station.  I also participated in a ride-along in the Walnut area.  In addition, I had the opportunity to go to the shooting range for the first time. Above is my target practice.  This time around, I was able to do more engaging activities in addition to using Excel to create various spreadsheets (employee hours, rosters, etc), creating volunteer ID's, and filing paperwork.  

INTERPRETIVE: Once again, I have met and have gone above the time requirement for the independent component by completing 63 hours.  Volunteering here has given me an inside look into the law enforcement aspect of criminology and has shown me how busy it is. Being in this type of an environment was very fast paced, and I was able to see different sides of police work.  

 

APPLIED: Although my time volunteering at the Walnut Police Station wasn't specifically helpful in helping me answer my EQ, it did provide me with opportunities to ask different types of police (sergeants, detectives, sheriffs) their take on crime and how and why it occurs.  Volunteering here was also a good opportunity to question people for my interviews, which I took advantage of.  These sheriffs and detectives also steered me towards different sources that could help me with my EQ.  In conclusion, I felt that my total amount of hours spent on both independent components (126) should somewhat cover for the experience not being as conductive to my EQ as I was hoping.
