5 Resume Tips for your Policing Application
We spoke with recruitment specialists at local law enforcement agencies, and Paladin employees who were former Police Officers, to find the best resume tips. While there are many ways to make your resume standout, we've compiled the best ways to put your application above the rest.
1. Volunteer experience. Recruiters look for individuals who are committed to making the world a better place. Showcase your dedication through meaningful volunteer experience with an organization that you are passionate about.
2. Working in private security. With the extensive training and real-life experience, working in private security prepares you for a career in law enforcement. There are many ways that private security can be beneficial; from learning basic skills, to situational experience, to working side-by-side with law enforcement.
3. Awards and certifications. Showcasing your recognition for going the extra mile can push your application to the top. Whether it is a scholarship, community award, or employee award, recruiters will seriously consider applicants with a proven track record. Paladin offers 3 monthly performance awards at every branch for employees that go above and beyond.
4. Community involvement.There’s no better way to demonstrate that you are an outstanding citizen and member of the community than by getting involved. Participating in team sports and team building activities is a great way to showcase your commitment to your community.
5. Post-secondary education in a related field (such as criminology). Equip yourself with the proper education needed to excel in this field. Having a well-rounded application means demonstrating critical thinking as much as your physical execution.
