Summary

I am writing to express my keen interest in the Regional 911 Police/Fire/Dispatcher on the Semrecc website. With my strong communication skills, ability to remain calm under pressure, dedication to public service, and my extensive experience in the field, I am confident that I possess the qualities necessary to excel in this critical role.


In my previous experiences, I have honed my ability to actively listen, gather information quickly, and respond effectively in challenging situations. I understand the importance of prioritizing calls, providing clear instructions, and maintaining composure while handling emergency situations. I am also highly organized and capable of multi-tasking in a fast- paced environment.


I have encountered a life changing ordeal where I have beat cancer. Which makes its hard for me to wear a gun belt and vest. I have gone through beating rectal cancer. 30 radiations and 2 major surgeries. I have recovered, and am cancer free! That's why I am looking to change careers.



I am passionate about helping others, and believe I can continue to make a meaningful difference in the community. I am eager to learn and adapt to he specific protocols and procedures required for this position. I am available to work various shifts.


Thank you for your time and consideration. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my my qualifications further in an interview.


Sincerely,

Christopher R. Bowlen
