Career opportunities with the thin blue line were on the table as local police officers visited a Wigan academy
Members of Hindley’s neighbourhood policing team were given a warm welcome to one of the schools on their beat to encourage some pupils to follow in their footsteps.
PC Hailwood, PC Porter, PCSO Sanson and PCSO Longhurst attended an Outwood Academy careers event, where they spoke with students about the wide range of opportunities available within policing.
A spokesperson for the team said: “We had some great conversations about the role of a police officer, the skills needed for the job, and the different career paths available within Greater Manchester Police.
“It was encouraging to see so many young people interested in public service and keen to learn more about how we work to keep our communities safe.
“Thank you to Outwood Academy for the warm welcome and for giving us the opportunity to engage with and inspire the next generation.”
