Welcoming the Police Outreach Team!

This week, we received a visit from the Avon and Somerset Police’s Outreach Team, providing an invaluable opportunity for selected tutor groups to gain firsthand insights into law enforcement careers and operations. 

During the visit, students were treated to an engaging presentation where officers shared their personal experiences, shedding light on the diverse roles and recruitment systems within the police force. From patrol officers to specialised units, the students were introduced to the array of career paths available within law enforcement. 

One of the highlights of the visit was the interactive showcase of police equipment. Students had the unique chance to handle various items, including helmets and even a stab vest, gaining a tangible understanding of the tools utilised in daily police work. This hands-on experience allowed them to appreciate the practical aspects of a career in law enforcement and sparked curiosity about the responsibilities officers undertake to ensure public safety. 

The event provided a platform for students to engage with law enforcement professionals, ask questions, and explore potential career paths in the field of policing. 

"We are grateful to the local police department for their collaboration and commitment to educating our students," Di Dourley remarked. "Visits like these are instrumental in broadening horizons and encouraging students to consider the impactful role they can play in society through a career in law enforcement."
