Our Cadets
"
I am attending Harold Washington College. My major is Criminal Justice, which is an awesome course of study. It’s very informative and helpful to my future career. My G.P.A is a 3.5 and progressing. I intend to complete my two years at Harold and receive my Associate’s Degree. Afterwards, I plan to attend a 4-year college, majoring in English and minoring in Accounting, while on the Chicago Police Department force (to receive the experience needed for a permanent career with the FBI). I live the college life to the fullest! I’m not rushing into anything but I’m not letting great opportunities pass me by!

I am currently at Harold Washington College. Also, I am currently working two jobs: at Guitar Center on 73rd and Cicero and at Antler Trucking Company, working on the docks. I have been playing in various bands, and soon enough will have an EP and then a little later have a full length CD. I am majoring in Fire Science and have my work cut out for me. I also plan on going to a university for business and also trade school to become an electrician, and I am taking online courses for a real estate license. I just want to be able to have back-up plans and extra opportunities available to me.

I was a member of the CPFTA Program from my junior year in high school through my sophomore year in college. I learned so much information. I am currently enlisted in the United States Air Force as a military police officer but I cannot wait until the day I come back and apply all the knowledge that I was taught by the CPFTA to the streets of Chicago with the CPD. I am grateful for every second I had in the CPFTA.

I attended Western Illinois University and graduated with a B.S. degree in Law Enforcement in May 2006. In April 2007 I was hired by the Palatine Police Department as a police officer, and have been working there ever since. I appreciate everything the CPFTA did for me, and am proud to be a graduate of such a fine program.

Well, what can I say, college wasn’t for me, and so I did the next best thing: I joined the military. I’m a United States Marine now! I’ve been in the Marines for 2 years now, and I’m currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Being away from home for 2 years really makes me appreciate it. Now don’t get me wrong, I love what I do. I’ve been to so many places: Hawaii, Phillipines, and Korea. I haven’t been to Iraq yet but as soon as I finish my tour in Japan and go back to the states, I will be going. I’m just using the military as a stepping stone towards my true goal: The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). I just want to thank all the instructors and staff that made the CPFTA program possible. Thanks to them, I now know what it feels like to set a goal and work towards it. I will be going back to school when I am ready: I want my degree. Thank you once again.

I graduated from the CPFTA Program in 2005 and went to Washington College for a year. I didn’t really like college so joined the army as an infantryman. I am now serving overseas in Bayji, Iraq. I’m doing a 15-month deployment. I will come home on December 21, 2008. Wish me luck!

I loved the program and I learned a lot from it, and most importantly it opened many doors for me. I am currently a sophomore at UIC, majoring in Criminal Justice. I also got involved with the Police Cadet Program. I am now a police cadet in the 12th district. It is really fun and useful, as I get hands-on work with the police. I hope that all the old cadets and new cadets, after graduating, get involved with this program.

The Lansing Police Department called me back Monday night offering me a police officer job. I get sworn in December 18, 2007 and I start the academy January 3, 2008. I will have to delay my graduation from Lewis University until next year but I think I shouldn’t pass up this great opportunity. I hope all is well and wanted to thank you for everything you taught me. You are a great teacher and a role model. I think you are doing a wonderful job with the cadets and the young adults.

I recently passed the Illinois State Paramedic exam. I would like to thank Commander Perry for all the advice and guidance he has given me over the three or so years we have known each other. If at all possible, I would love to come back and talk to the new cadets about career options and the importance of capitalizing on an amazing opportunity like the CPFTA.

I am going to be taking the Fire Academy test on Tuesday, October 9, 2007. I really feel good about the program as a whole so far. I got a strong vibe from everyone who is helping to run the program this year. I feel that you all have a lot to offer and I'm going to make the best of every opportunity that the program offers me. Thank you to everyone who is a part of the program.
