[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s important to remind your young, or incoming college students that law enforcement organizations routinely attend college career fairs searching for intelligent, driven individuals that are looking to serve rather than just work.

Below is a link to the 13 LE partners that will be represented at the UMD career fair later this month.

Montgomery County Police Chief Marc Yamada agrees that students should engage recruiters at job fairs.

[b]Why did you become a police officer?[/b]

“I was attending Frostburg State University, and I had decided on a career in business. I was attending a job fair up in Frederick and I looked over and there were two Montgomery County police officers, Norman Washington and Ora Lee Murray, both of whom are retired now. They were at a recruiting table, and I said to myself, ‘I’m from Montgomery County, I’ll go over and talk to them.’ I wasn’t sure sitting behind a desk was my calling, and I had a sense of wanting to help the community that I grew up in. I just followed that path. Here I am 37 years later.”
