For those who haven't read my other blog about my new job, you probably should. It's nothing very long. But for those who have read it, this is an update about my new job with about a month of training underneath my belt. Since I have started training I have successfully been apart of dozens observations of people and their behaviors and what to look for. I have also been trained how to look around corners and not be seen while doing so. Another way I have observed shoplifters is through the shelves of all the merchandise rackings. Also, I have been apart of 4 apprehensions. Most of them concealed the merchandise on themselves another guy tried pushing the stuff out without anyone noticing. We stopped a lady yesterday from shoplifting, the sad part was that she had her 3 year old daughter with her while she was doing it. I am gaining a lot of confidence in myself and noticing that I am really happy to go to work. I still have a couple months left of training and then I will be certified and then handcuff certified. After all of that I will be making apprehensions on my own.

Anyone have any career related goals that they would like to achieve this year?
