Student Officer Clayton

Why did you join the Police Service?

I joined the Police for a career rather than just a job.  No day is the same and you can have a positive impact on the communities you are working in. 

What are you enjoying most about the Student Officer Training?

The student officer programme is engaging and challenging. There is a good mix of classroom and physical learning, and a good working environment for what is a tough but enjoyable course.

What do you hope to achieve in your career? 

I hope to have a positive impact on the community I work in and help change a negative view of the police.  The prospect of promotion and training is something I'm looking forward to.
