About

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

Hello! I am an 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 as a Communications Operator with the Ontario Provincial Police where I will work in conjunction with dispatchers to take 911 calls from the public and dispatch police officers to those who request them, and more directly assist police officers with active investigations.

In my last position, I worked 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.

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.
