Responding to live Police incidents, making arrests, supporting victims.
Yes
Could do better with the first initial 16 weeks, learning about old Police batons was no beneficial, it was also very academic heavy which for some people can be overwhelming if they haven't been in education a while.
Some staff were amazing, others were not so and seemed to pick student Officers that they liked for help.
Northumbria Police were good at providing support, Northumbria University were not so great and seemed like a tick in the box exercise.
I don't believe it has given myself any "theory applied learning" to my day job.
Yes - Sports and Social etc...
Yes
Good employer over-all
Be prepared and speak with someone who has done the process beforehand
