Personal attributes. As describes earlier, Personal attributes are the individual characteristics or values. One of my personal characteristics is a presentable courage. Matters relating to criminal investigation needs to be courageous due to activities related to this field. Criminal investigation involves taking a risk and investigating criminals who are enemies of justice. Meaning they would do anything including taking away my life as an investigation officer. Courage has built enough confidence in me and enhanced quality achievements I have made in the recent past. The other personal attribute is being principled; over my years of professionalism not at any moment, I accepted any kind manipulation. Our operational units are enemies of justice and may move a step further and try to manipulate the investigator. For several times suspects have tried to bribe requesting me to give a false testimony on a case. My principle personal attributes has given me a series of awards in the end of year price giving day. More so, fairness is a core personal attributes that has enabled me handle all cases without any discrimination to my clients disparities. Over the years I have served, Equality is a flag I have kept raised any moment I do my duties. This have rendered a diverse appreciation of who I am today (Phillips & Bedeian, 1994).

Strengths. These are individual characteristics earning the CIO an added advantage over other CIOs. The strengths, therefore, describe a unique character that promotes the efficient performance in the criminal justice duties. Therefore, the strengths are not in any way in the functional requirements but an advantage to an individual. Working for long hours is my primary strength and has yielded remarkable achievements since I began. This a clear symbol of how much dedicated I am to my roles. My bosses have learned to like me and are assured I cannot bring the investigation to a halt just because the working hours are over. More so, it describes me as a profession who not only comes to work but also looks forward to work. Evidence handling knowledge is a necessary strength to CIO. Secrecy is among the values of handling evidence (Manning, 1979). For a long time I have believed I should never be naïve and everyone is not there to trust. In the course of my criminal investigation, I have ensured that only the necessary and trusted individuals are aware of my plans. Leaving it unknown to even the, most intimate people have made my investigations successful. I have further discovered that the few that failed were preceded exposing my plans during investigations. What does experience mean to a criminal investigator? Experience has taught me, the crimes are repeatedly committed but only the propagators and the plans change. Through experience, I have learnt of the different way to investigate, gather and prepare evidence to prosecute the suspects. Every new day is a learning lesson (Anderson, 1992) and over the ten years, I have gained a lot of knowledge on criminal investigations.

Desires. Lastly, Desires motivates everyone in their daily activities. A professional CIO may have a range of attractions they wish to fulfill personally. Mine, is the customer satisfaction. Am always delighted to serve defendants and give them maximum satisfaction in an investigation. Therefore, works as the rationale as I strive to ensure all investigations are successfully accomplished and citizens are happy with my work. Moreover, my desire is always see justice prevailing at all times. I have never wished to prosecute an innocent individual or complete an investigation and set the guilty suspects free. Every citizen is obliged to justice and I desire to see justice-taking control of all the investigations. Finally, I am a civil servant and desire that one day I will head the department of criminal investigations. Through a series of successful investigations that will please my employer to an extent of considering me in the yearly promotions. Achieving success in all investigation activities will grant me the reality of this desire or dream.

In conclusion, my personal attributes, strengths and desires have contributed much to the success of who I am today. My habit shapes the personal attributes, Acquired abilities develop the strengths, and the future expectations shape my desired dreams. The essay has focused on me as a Criminal investigation officer (CIO) in the criminal justice profession and has described how important my values, capabilities, and future expectations motivated me all through the profession. Therefore, it is evident that the mentioned values are all-important to me and guides me through the daily duties. However, it has come to my realization that I must not always be kind and softhearted. For instance, suspects runs away and resist anytime I request to interrogate them. A friendly CIO gets the necessary information from them. Here comes the need to trick or hold them in custody for investigations. Am always responsible for balancing between my positive values and the duties I perform. Sometimes it calls for a wrong impression to get contented investigation report. Many times are when the suspects built enmity between them and me. It is evident that most of them never even wish to visit the criminal justice offices or meet me again.
