Summary
I am a highly motivated graduate with strong research, problem‑solving and communication skills all gained while undertaking the BA (Hons) Professional Policing Degree. I've gained experience in handling sensitive information with discretion and accuracy. I have demonstrated the ability to analyse complex datasets, work collaboratively under pressure, and produce clear, evidence‑based reports using a number of different software applications. I'm seeking to contribute to policing and national security through a role within the police force.
