A new adventure

Maybe because of the fact that I am an only child it is very easy for me to keep myself entertained and just stay home but I have become aware that even if this might be a blessing I tend to become isolated  from the world at large so over the years I have tried to volunteer in different area's. I interpret for the deaf at my church and that is ongoing and I once volunteer at a local hospital as well as the Glendale Police Dept. but the later two didn't become a passion so I left them. I recently saw an ad for a need for volunteers for the court system through Family Advocacy Center which interested me so I went to the orientation and was so impressed with their program I enlisted to volunteer in other areas as well. Little did I know that this volunteer position would have the same requirements as if I were becoming a employee of the Glendale Police Dept.  so along with résumés and fingerprinting I was required to take a poly graph test....

This was a totally new experience and included me having to drive 40 miles to get it done. That is a bit out of my comfort zone but......I did it! The reason all this is required is because once they give you access to the computer, you then will have access to all the police files for Glendale so it is important they know you aren't a bad guy.  I have volunteered several times now and have really enjoy it and the case workers, detectives and etc. are really nice so think this one is a fit for me.
