I am 23 years of age and I have been employed by West Yorkshire Police for just over four and a half years as a Police Constable. I have a Level 3 Diploma in policing. This course teaches the practical delivery of an effective service to the public. I am extremely hard working, driven and trustworthy person with a conscientious and can do attitude. I am well-versed in many aspects of policing, having worked on a number of investigation teams and managing a number of investigations. In my most recent job, I was responsible for complex cases involving the discharge of an illegal weapon, namely firearms. The sentence for this crime can result in life imprisonment.
I have spent the last 4 and a half years in policing driving to better my knowledge and skillset for my own personal development and in the interest of bringing offenders to justice. This has resulted in the sentencing of 10+ years imprisonment for a number of investigations which I have ran as officer in charge of the case. This is my passion, and something I hope to continue for the rest of my working career.
