Does past experience with law enforcement help my chances of being hired as a Civilian Police Aid?
Previous experience with a law enforcement agency can be a plus in your favor. Most L.E. agencies today are computer oriented as all data are entered and stored via this media. Experience in computer software/hardware would also be a plus in your favor.
