00:04 --> 00:06
When I think back over sixteen years,
00:06 --> 00:09
I definitely can’t imagine the same day happening twice.
00:10 --> 00:11
That’s one of the things I love about the job.
00:12 --> 00:13
It’s different, even now.
00:14 --> 00:16
There’s a massive amount of roles in the Police Service.
00:17 --> 00:22
You’ve got investigation, CID, firearms, you’ve got traffic,
00:22 --> 00:27
dogs, search team, a massive amount of roles out there.
00:28 --> 00:31
I feel lucky that I’ve always been really supported
00:32 --> 00:34
by my first and second line manager when I’ve wanted to progress,
00:35 --> 00:39
to develop, to do a different role when I’ve set out on the pathway to promotion.
00:41 --> 00:43
There is a fast-track scheme
00:43 --> 00:45
for people who are wanting to progress quickly,
00:45 --> 00:47
so you can move from PC to inspector.
00:47 --> 00:49
You’re going to have some amazing experiences,
00:50 --> 00:51
probably going to make some
00:52 --> 00:52
lifelong friends.
00:53 --> 00:54
And if you embrace it,
00:54 --> 00:55
you’re going to have a really rewarding career.
