Dear Mr. /Mrs. Last Name,

I am writing this cover letter is response to the advertisement that came out in the Daily Times about the vacancy for the position of a Police Officer in your department. I possess all the skills and qualifications that would surely prove to be an asset for your firm.

My greatest strengths include a strong desire to help those in needs, and to fairly and equally enforce the laws of the state as well as county and local ordinances, both professionally and fairly, for the safety of the general public. I have an excellent level of fitness, no prior convictions and am honest and hard working.

I am confident that I will be an asset to your agency. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your departmental goals and how I can help you achieve them as a Police Officer.

Thanks for taking the time to consider my application.

Sincerely,

Signature,
