About

Hello! My name is Jacob Graham, and I am a Communications Operator

I am an Honours Computer Science graduate who graduated in June 2024 from Lakehead University with first-class standing, and from Georgian College with a diploma in Computer Programming, getting on the dean's list for the years I attended: 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Currently, I work as a Communications Operator with the Ontario Provincial Police where I work in conjunction with dispatchers to prioritize public safety and dispatch police, fire, ambulance, or other services to those who need them.

In my last position, I worked as a Civilian Data Entry Clerk. In this role, I assisted 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 data integrity policies. Additionally, I also assist in preparing court documents and verifying that data entered will be valid and presentable in court.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing video games that are more geared towards casual players, such as Minecraft and Project Zomboid. I also love watching MMA and practicing Muay Thai, whether that be going through drills or sparring. I really love cooking and baking where I can, and make my own dishes such as chocolate lava cake, soups and stews, and other traditional North American foods.

I enjoy working on cars and know the basics of how to maintain one, such as repairing rust spots, changing brake pads and rotors, changing CV axles or repairing boots, brake shoes and drums, headlights and taillights, etc. I also enjoy doing other work such as demolition and basic carpentry work.

I really love animals, and used to have a snaked named Trouser, who passed away, and a cat named Simon, who passed away from medical complications. I used to have two dogs named Jack and Nismo who both passed away due to cancer. Currently, I have 2 gray domestic shorthair cats named Finch and Tater.
