Officer on radio

Why did you join the Police Service?

I joined the Police straight after leaving school. I knew I didn’t want to do further education or work a nine to five desk job.

I think I will enjoy the diversity within the role as every single day is different.

What are you enjoying most about the Student Officer Training?

Where do I start?! From first aid training to firearms, I have enjoyed so many aspects of the Student Officer Training.

Even my fitness has improved and I’ve learnt skills that will benefit me both outside and inside the job.

I know there are lots of opportunities for progression within the Police Service, but initially, I just want to get to know the community I am working in, build relationships in the area and make a difference
