Firstly I will write about the first day in my work experience, in the first week was hard to understand the nature of work. First day in my work experience we was went to the main branch because we have meeting with one of the police employee who was a women, she was told me and the other students who will work in the all branch of police station in Ras Al Khimah the roles of working in police station, she said that we should wear black Abaya without design, not allowed to put makeup, not allowed to playing in the phone, also we can not do our college work in the station, because the police station is a professional station and it is reflect our personality. After the meeting each students went to the branch that will work in, when I arrived to the police station I was afraid to enter, and I was not know where I should go and for who. I enter the police station I went to the reception and I said to them that I am student from the college and I will train here, they guide me to go to the second floor and go to the secretary Kholud Al Mansori, she welcomed me and told me the summary of the nature of the work in police station and there some department need a brave person to work in it, then she take me and the other two students in the station to see the place and the all departments, then she toke us to the first department that we work in which was Services and support department, we meet Ms. Fatima Hamdan who is teach us the work from first day, but was not a lot of work in the first day.

I helped the other employee in this section in writing in word document, they have not too much skill in the word or in the computer, my skills help them to writ every thing easily and quickly that make them feeling good about me. Also I send the problems to the court and save the paper that need to put it in the files. In addition I make some calls to two person who have problem and I asked them to come to the police station to complete the procedures.

Also I make some PowerPoints about the traffic and reduce the accidents, they can use it in schools.
In week 3 the Criminal and investigation department, the hardest section to work in, because the emotions are not allowed in the investigation, for example, we will see a lot of cases, and we dont know which is from the parties who said the truth, that require a lot of patience, also I learn how to enter that in the system, I worked with Shahrban Alshehhi. 6
Community policing department in week 4 with Bshayer Saleh, the nature of the work in this section is to solve the family, marital, and other problems in quiet and friendly way. I was helped them in solving some problems which some of them is easily to talk with them and the other is difficult to contact and deal with them, I use my friendly way and I think that is the best way to solve the problems. In addition there were not a lot of work in this section, this means that I helped the other sections like making the statistical the branch of police station.
Security information department, in this section I worked with Waleed Alnaqbi in week 5 and week 7, this department I was worked in statistical about the branch of police station, because they need to save every thing each week. Also I save some documents in the files and in the computer.
3.3 In each department I have supervisor teach me the work and what I should do. In services and support department the Corporal Fatema Hamdan, in traffic department the Sergeant Saeeda Ali, in the department of criminal and investigation my supervisor was Shahrban Alshehhi, in community policing my supervisor was Bshayer Saleh, and in security information was Waleed Alnaqbi. Thats mean that also all the police men in these department help me to improve my work and do a perfect job. But the supervisor who was responsible about me was the Sergeant Ayman Alsromi, he was see my presence and my leave, and responsible about everything about me.
3.4 I learn from the job training the dealing with different people, because when I was in the job training I was communicated with gentle people, hard people, and other different people and different recipes, I learn a lot of thing which is will help me a lot if I want to work in the police station in future, like how I use the program, how I make statistic about the police station, and how I can solve a lot of problem in my nice way and skills.
3.5 The most language that I used in the police station is Arabic, in communication with people, in computers, and in writing documents and every thing. But there is a small percentage in talking English, I used my English when they wont from me translate the problem to foreign person, thats mean they use English but not too much.

3.6 The computer programs that I used were, the portal of the police station, the investigation program, and I used the Microsoft office and I use my skills in this. But we cannot use the Internet in the police station because is not allowed to use it. The equipment that I used was, fax, printer, scanner, and the damage device that is for damage the paper that we will not use it.
Interpersonal/ Communication skills:
4.1 There is not a lot of problems, it is one problem which was in the first weeks, when I should to do the work quickly in the computer because they need it, I make a mistake and I didnt know how to solve this by myself.
4.2 When I want to solve this problem, I was afraid a little bit because it was the first time, I told the supervisor Fatima to help me, and she came and solve this mistake kindly.
4.3 In my work there are a lot of things that I like it like, the easily communication between the employee, the deal with them, it was clearly seen that all of the employee in one hand, also the work is became more easy with the new technologies, in addition they share with us all the work, and I like that we went to the schools in awareness campaigns. I dislike that some departments which I didnt work in, because not allowed for the student to work in or any other people, they have a secret information that only allowed for the employee, I disliked because I want to take more experience and because some departments I work in it twice.

Conclusion and recommendations:
5.1 The company respect my work experience by share me all the work and teach me the way of the work and how I can make my work in perfect way. Also all of the employee deal with me in best way. In addition they respect my work when I did a PowerPoints about the traffic, they feel happy about it and I feel happy about their reaction. There is one thing if the company done will be better and I think will respect my work experience too. I think they should give us a certificate of appreciation of our work in the police station for almost two months, but maybe they will send it to us latter.
5.2 The things that I did will in the job training are all the work that the employee gave it to me and teach me how to do this work with there help to finish the job, but the work which was I think challenging was the PowerPoints because they only told us to make a presentation about a subject without examples, that was very hard because I afraid that I cant make it like they want, but when I finish it and show them I felt very happy about there reaction.
5.3 My experience as a media student in studying about the design, and communication skills help me in design the professional PowerPoints, and help my in communicate and deal with the employee and the other people. I think now the College Programs cover every thing, because our college day to day improves and open new programs that help the student have an amazing future.
5.4 The main thing that I learnt from the job training, that I will meet different people, some of them easy to deal with, and the other it is hard to deal with them, I learn from the work and from my study that I should to be patient person to finish my work with people.
5.5 I can improve myself as an employee by doing all the work that I should to do in completely way, and I came and leave in the time, also dont take a lot of holidays, so in this way I think that the manager will feel happy about my work and about my responsibility about everything in the work and myself.
5.6 I think the most important skill that the all program should taught at the college is Communication skills because it is only in the media, this skill help the student to contact and deal with people in perfect way, and that is what help me in my work experience and I am very happy that I study this subject because it is help me a lot in my job training. 9
5.7 I want to recommend my work experience company for the students in future, because the employees in the police station respect our work and job training with their way and the deal with us. Also they help us to complete the work, and they teach us the right when someone makes a mistake.
5.8 When I will graduate I would to work in this organization or a similar organization, because I like and interest in the way of work in the police station, and I think that I will help a lot of people in the country and solve there problem, thats make me feel happy about myself.
5.9 My future career goals are affected by my work experience a lot. Before the job training my future career was I want to work in the police station without any reason, I am still want to work in police station but now I have goals, that I will help the people in my country, I will solve there problem and make them happy, and I want to work for my country which is give me all what I want.
