When I left Wisbech I attended Staffordshire University where I studied Policing and Criminal Investigation BSc (Hons). I absolutely loved the whole university experience, both the social side and the academic side, and would highly recommend it to anyone.
In my final year I did my dissertation on cybercrime and finished with a 2:2. While at university I was a Special Constable for Staffordshire Police where I worked on the response teams in Stoke-on-Trent. During this role I attended everything from missing persons to road traffic collisions, I thoroughly enjoyed the time as a Special Constable and learnt a lot from it too.
I have recently got a job as a call handler for Greater Manchester Police where I will be answering 999 and 101 calls. I had an amazing time at Wisbech and looking back I do really miss it.
My advice to anyone considering university would be to be to do a course you enjoy as 3 years is a long time to be doing something you don’t enjoy. But university is not for everyone which is an important consideration, shockingly there is employment out there for people without degrees.
