Today we were lucky enough to have Constable Rochelle Gordon back in the Senior Room. This time she was here to speak to us about what is involved in becoming a police officer.
Lucy wrote the following report about Constable Gordon's visit...
We jumped around tidying up, then we heard the door open...it was Constable Rochelle Gordon, the police officer. Rochelle sat down and talked us through the steps on becoming a police officer. Apply, background check, fitness testing, maths and english test and then there is an induction process where you are with an officer to ‘learn the ropes’ on what it takes to be a police officer.
After that she talked us through training and where you go to train, trust me it looks very hard. You have to be able to run 2.4km in a short amount of time, do 20 press ups and a strength test. When you become a police officer, you have to do this test every two years.
We then asked her some questions on what police officers do she said “Somedays it can be very boring but other days, you can be sitting at work, filling in paperwork and then all of a sudden...you get a call that there has been a car crash or something bad has happened. Then it is all go!
Overall we enjoyed her coming and there were a lot of people that seemed interested in becoming police officers.
