An open day to promote a college policing course was hailed a success yesterday (Thursday 5th February).
Hundreds of potential recruits attended the open day at Coleg Llandrillo Cymrus campus in Rhos-on-Sea where over thirty officers from all sections of North Wales Police were in attendance.
The Foundation Degree in Police studies is a two year course that serves as an introduction to a career in the police through practical policing experience, giving the student an academic understanding of policing.
The event was aimed at people who may be interested in a police career and visitors had the opportunity to talk to the officers about the wide range of opportunities available within the force. Students who are currently on the Colleges Foundation Degree in Police Studies course were also on-hand to answer questions and relate their experiences.
19-year-old Elin Vanessa Morris who is a second year student on the course said: I really enjoy this course and one day I hope to join North Wales Police as a regular constable.
My favourite aspect of the course is the practical side where we learn how to gather evidence such as footprints etc. If people are thinking of joining the police service I highly recommend enrolling for the foundation degree as this will be a great learning platform.
Elin, from Flintshire is also stationed at Rhyl Police Station as a Special Constable. This is an integral part of the programme, as a condition of the course is that students will be accepted as Special Constables (subject to interviews and checks) prior to enrolling for the foundation degree.
She added: I love working as a Special Constable as I get to see and experience so much more whilst out on the streets.
A wide range of police vehicles were on display in the campus car park and officers from the Roads Policing Unit, Arrive Alive and the Dog Section were in attendance to give advice to potential recruits. The day also included detailed presentations from the North Wales Police and College staff.
The force helicopter NW01, even landed on the College grounds, much to the delight of students, staff and visitors as many flocked to speak to the crew to learn more about the aircraft and have their photos taken.
Michelle McBreeze, a former employee with North Wales Police for 19-years, is now one of the course tutors. She said: The course provides both the academic and practical side of policing. The students learn about the law and different legislations, policing diverse communities as well as being given the opportunity to go out onto the streets as special constables.
The experience given to the students is highly rewarding and prepares them for a great future with the police service.
