Mr. Matthew Richards

HR Manager

City of Some town

5 City Hall Ave.

Some town, CO 55555

Dear Mr. Richards:

I was interested to read City of Sometown’s posting on Monster for an entry-level police officer. For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement, and the opportunity to serve and protect within my hometown community is my dream job.

Here’s why I am a strong candidate for this position:

Training & Credentials: After graduating top of my class to earn my Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certification, I pursued an AAS in law enforcement from XYZ Community College. Last month I earned my degree with honors, along with CPR and first aid certifications. As a result of this training, I offer a solid foundation in police fundamentals.

Community-Minded: As a native of Some town, I am deeply committed to the welfare of the community. After graduating from Some town High School, I stayed active in my local church and Kiwanis Club. These close community ties will assist in fostering positive relationships and furthering police-community goodwill.

Sincerely,

Brenda Ames
