Student Officer Vennard

Why did you join the Police Service?

I have wanted to join the Police since I was a small child. 

What are you enjoying most about the Student Officer Training?

My previous career had taken me out of my comfort zone a lot, however since becoming a student officer I have become more confident in talking to others and asking for help if needed. I am enjoying the P.E. even though I’d never been in a gym before now. The most enjoyable bit is seeing how your classmates and other students from other courses rally around to try and help others when they need it.

What do you hope to achieve in your career? 

I have an interest in Roads Policing so would like to transfer to Roads if given the opportunity. I’d also like to progress to leadership roles within the service as my knowledge base grows.
