ABHIJEET SINGH
Abbotsford,BC
Summary
Experienced, dedicated, and calm under pressure, I bring a diverse background in law enforcement, security, and community service with a strong commitment to public safety. After successfully completing an intensive 14-week Correctional Officer training program at the National Satellite Training Academy (NSTA), I gained valuable expertise in inmate supervision, emergency response, use of force protocols, firearms training, and crisis management. I have hands-on experience managing high-risk situations, enforcing security, and de-escalating conflicts, ensuring the safety and well-being of both individuals and the community.
My roles as a Housing Support Worker and Security Officer further sharpened my ability to work with vulnerable populations, maintain safety in challenging environments, and build rapport with individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges. I’ve proven my ability to remain composed, enforce rules effectively, and respond to emergencies with confidence. Whether working on the frontlines of a correctional facility, a supportive housing site, or a fast-paced retail environment, I’ve demonstrated strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills that allow me to thrive in team settings and provide exceptional service.
I’m now ready to apply my broad skill set, dedication to community safety, and passion for serving others to a career in law enforcement. As a police officer, I will bring a calm, clear-headed approach to high-pressure situations, strong teamwork, and a deep understanding of the importance of maintaining public safety and trust.
