About

My name is Jacob Graham, and I am an Honours Computer Science graduate

Hello! I am a recent Honours Computer Science graduate who graduated in June 2024 with first-class standing. I have an Honours Computer Science degree from Lakehead University, and a Computer Programming diploma from Georgian College.

Currently, I work at the OPP as a Civilian Data Entry Clerk. In this role, I assist front line officers in entering data from active investigations into the OPP's internal records management system, NicheRMS, while strictly adhering to established Standard Operating Procedures and other rules created by the Civilian Data Entry Unit to maintain data quality. Additionally, I also assist in preparing court documents and verifying that data entered will be valid in court.

I am currently in the process of becoming a Communications Operator with the Provincial Communications Centre, where I will work in conjunction with dispatchers to take 911 calls from the public and dispatch police officers to people who request police assistance.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing video games that are more geared towards casual players, such as Minecraft and Project Zomboid. My happiest day would be outside in nature hiking or just going on a walk with others who also enjoy being in nature. I enjoy cooking, baking, and working on my car. I enjoy going to the gym, where I mostly train cardio.

I really love animals, and used to have a snaked called Trouser, who passed away, and a cat named Simon, who passed away from medical complications. Currently, I have 2 gray domestic shorthair cats named Finch and Tater.
