Law Enforcement Resume Writing Services
»
​
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the number of jobs in law enforcement will grow by just 3% between now and 2031, with an average of 68,500 openings per year during this time frame across the entire country. In other words, if you are hoping to land a new job or advance your career as a police officer, detective, criminal investigator, or other position in this field, you’ll need a resume that sets you apart from the competition. ​

Here are the three most important things to focus on while creating your police resume, plus a few FAQs to help get your started. 


Keys to a Successful Law Enforcement Resume

Clear, specific language. Make it easy for potential employers to understand what you’ve accomplished in your career and why you’re the best person for this position. Our resume writers are experts at presenting work experience in quantifiable, specific ways that will capture recruiters’ attention. For example, instead of using general language to describe your last position in the professional experience section, your StandOut writer might include phrases like “responded to approximately 65 emergency calls per month,” “successfully closed more than 50 cases in 2022,” or “reduced crime in 10-mile patrol area by 30% between 2018 and 2020.”

Keywords. The best way to target your law enforcement resume to a specific position is to start with the job listing. Your StandOut Resumes writer will help you find all the important keywords and qualifications in the position description, then incorporate as many of them as they can in your resume. The employer or recruiter has already told you what they’re looking for — if they see those keywords in a quick skim of your resume, it’s more likely that they’ll keep reading and consider you for the job.

Attention to detail. Your law police resume should show a potential employer who you are, how you can be reached, what kind of work you’ve done, why you’re qualified for the position, and whether you have the required training for the specific law enforcement position. Our law enforcement resume writers will present your information in a clear, logical way that highlights your most relevant experience, qualifications, certifications, etc.

Common Questions & Answers

»   What should a law enforcement resume include?


From top to bottom, your resume should include your name and contact information; a two- to three-sentence professional summary or objective; a list of your professional experience in reverse chronological order (most recent position first) with bullet points detailing your achievements and responsibilities in each role; your education history, including relevant certifications; and a bulleted list of the skills and qualities that will make you a great fit for the job.

»    What is a good resume objective for a police officer?


Enthusiastic police officer with [insert specific number] years of experience seeking a position with [insert specific city/town] Police Department to better serve the community using strong reasoning and problem-solving skills to reduce the local crime rate.

»   What are three important qualities/skills to have as a police officer?


In addition to the proper training, the three most important soft skills to highlight in your law enforcement resume are integrity/ethics, problem solving/thinking on your feet, and conflict resolution. Make sure to list them with any other relevant skills in a separate section of your resume, and give specific details about how you demonstrated each skill in the summaries of your work experience.
