I am a retired police officer, and served for a number of years. Although I am no longer directly involved, I do like to stay on this forum so that I am able to keep up to date with changes in the job, the training, and also try to talk to other people who have had similar experiences to the ones that I have had. This forum is great, both for people who are already in the job and those who are thinking about applying in the future. There is also a lot of opportunity for people in the public to come on here and ask questions if they need to, and they often find that there is somebody there who is more than willing to answer them, which is great.
