- I, Cherokee Michalak, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

- Independent Compt 1 Log
- For my Independent Component 1, I continued working at the Glendora Police Station, in the Animal Control Department with my mentor, Jolean Miller and the other animal control officer, Vanessa Alvarez.
Interpretive:
These are two cats that were in animal control, I cleaned the cages, gave the orange kitten a bath and played with them to burn out some energy.
This kitten was found stuck on a telephone wire over 10 feet high, the fire department rescued her and she was eventually adopted out.
- While volunteering with Animal Control, I did multiple jobs with my mentor, another officer and some cadets working in the station. I went on calls for stray dogs and picked up wild animals, filed, did paperwork, walked many dogs, cleaned some cat cages and conducted my interviews.
Applied:
- By working hands on with the animal control officers, whether it was working with stray dogs, not knowing if they will lash out, to chasing a dog that got hit by a car for an hour, I got a full on experience for my hours. If I didn't get my hours here, I wouldn't know how to handle wild animals properly, or how to conduct all the paperwork that is required. After seeing how many dogs come in and are stuck without homes, or who end up going to a kill shelter, I got a good grasp of how large the overpopulation of animals really is in animal control.
