Learning through others

I love to work in a challenging area where it requires a person to put more efforts and dig more information out of the box. What I like most is team work where you cannot go wrong, because of combined thoughts. I am someone who is deadline driven, my organisation is a busiest organisation, in terms of work load, therefore through pressure we still achieve. I have learnt to jot most important information in my diary for later reminder for instance if in a month we have to cover 10- 15 events it will work on our advantage to remember. I have learnt a lot on the functions of Video and Photo camera and to work effectively with them with being careful.

Pros: Creating an awareness
Cons: Going Overtime if needed

Attending to complaints and resolving them.

Typical work day Involves attending to complaints and resolving them if it can't be solved then someone gets arrested. I work on my toes, there's no luxury of relaxing as danger is always imminent. Efficacy in day-to-day operation is mandatory. Working relationship is awesome, at times pressure builds up and affects the way and manner in which superiors and colleagues displace frustrations on junior members but usually gets solved before the end of the day. I have Kearny that emotional intelligence, composure and alertness are key to survival and successful completion of tasks. I enjoy saving the day mostly. The most challenging aspect of the job is lacking tools of trade like guns, bullets, radios and cars.

Pros: Great working environment
Cons: long working hours

Excellent communication skills

It is a very good company to work for, provided you are disciplined and motivated to work . The challenging thing is working with minimum resources e.g sharing a vehicle with 2 other investigators , 2 computers for 30 investigating officers .I enjoy making arrests and getting convictions.im a very friendly person my relationship with my co- workers it's very good we get along just fine.a typical day having to charge 5 suspects , visiting time scenes ,arranging fingerprints ,giving feedback to complainants and administration for that day.

Pros: Exposure to different crimes
Cons: Less promotions
