I am the lord lieutenants cadet for fife for the year 24/25 which means i am the aide and representative of the cadet forces to the British royal family and the Lord-lieutenant in Fife.

It allows me to meet lots of different people in Fife and get to know how different things work as well as gain skills to talk to many people.

In the Cadets I have also become a Flight Sergeant where i now teach younger Cadets subjects like Radio communications to Flying operations.

I also help to lead and manage Cadets and Senior Non commissioned officers (NCOs ) at events and in our squadron to get the best outcomes for them . I have gained many skills from this like communication from getting the staffs requests then passing it on to the NCOs to actually carry them out. As well as getting a better understanding of the bigger picture everything has and how it can slow things down behind the scenes for different people or situations and how to work around it to keep things moving.

• Maintain cleanliness of forecourt for customer satisfaction.
• Provide excellent customer service to enhance station reputation.
• I regularly worked with the public and built up my confidence in conversions with many different people and handling tricky situations and often alone with limited time.
• Provided assistance in the adjoining café when they were understaffed to ensure both sides of the business worked efficiently.

• Harvested ripe crops for sale and storage.
• Worked in a small team to carry out various tasks from planting to netting the fields.
• Cleaned farm buildings and equipment during down time from harvesting in order to ensure they met specific standards and were safe for us to use.
• Followed instructions harvest crops at correct times using correct the methods for maximum yield.
• Summer job for the summers of 23/24 I was employed full time hours during these summers.

• Enhanced customer satisfaction by delivering newspapers promptly and accurately.

I attended 999 calls ranging from mental health crises in which I communicated effectively with people in crisis on one occasion over the phone. During the call the person had made concerning comments and was against police attendance I gained trust of the person and she stated her location. We were able to safely return her home in care of partner agencies.

The role also includes attending a range of callouts from the public ranging from serious assaults that require full in depth investigations down to minor shopliftings. Both situations require a the same amount of evidence and quality of reports sent to the courts to ensure that both evidence that proves guilt and excludes guilt are captured.

I also note statements from victims and witnesses that can be challenging due to having to recall their traumatic experiences in great detail. This has led me to be able to offer short breaks or words of encouragement during these hard conversations that can delve deep into their past.

Within the job there has been opportunities to attend football matches where I have engaged with the public attending. Due to being younger I was approached by younger fans who were able to come over to me due to our commonality in age and use it as an opportunity for themselves to find out why police attend matches and ask questions.

The role includes so much more from Road traffic collisions, being there for people who need support with children and searching for missing people.
