Question:

What are your future aspirations?

Answer:

I am currently studying for my sergeants exam and hope to be promoted in the foreseeable future. I am also interested in become a trainer. One of the positive aspects of working for such a large organisation is the potential to work in a variety of departments and diversify and develop new skills, in new and different areas.

Question:

What made you join Greater Manchester Police?

Answer:

I joined the police as I wanted to be part of a uniformed organisation where team work was essential. I considered the Army and Navy, but at the time these careers did not appeal, as I did not wish to leave my family and friends for long periods of time. Another important consideration was that I was competing in athletics at an international level and I needed to be able to train locally.

Question:

What advice can you give to anybody or person considering joining, either as a regular officer or a member of the support staff?

Answer:

My current role is to work with the community in order to provide a service to the general public and to help resolve any problems in the area. This includes crime, youths causing annoyance and general anti-social problems. I also liaise with local authorities and various agencies, promoting the police service and fostering good working relationships across the community.
