Turkish National Police

I served as a Police Officer in Turkey for 7 years, working in a range of operational and security-focused roles. My experience included close protection duties for senior government officials, as well as assignments within narcotics and organised crime units.

My responsibilities involved protecting individuals and locations, assessing potential security risks, monitoring suspicious activity, conducting observations, responding to incidents, supporting investigations, gathering and evaluating information, and maintaining public safety.

The role required strong situational awareness, confidentiality, discipline, rapid decision-making and the ability to remain calm and professional in high-pressure situations. I also gained extensive experience in dealing with members of the public, managing conflict and working effectively as part of a team during sensitive and demanding operations.
