Last week, Youth Officers chatted with students at Robertsbridge Community College during their Careers Day, providing insights into the diverse aspects of policing. Our discussions spanned the routine of a regular day to the functions of various departments within the force. The students, ranging from year 7 to year 11, posed thoughtful questions, demonstrating their keen interest in our work. This followed a visit a couple of weeks ago from an officer working in our Safeguarding Investigation Unit. Who shared insights into their daily responsibilities and the serious nature of the crimes they investigate. They also detailed their personal journey to becoming a Detective Constable with Sussex Police through our fast-track program. This session was interactive, with students asking insightful questions about the challenges and realities of police work, including, career progression, departmental roles, and personal experiences, such as “what’s the scariest job they had been to” and “how hard is it to not think about work when they get home” amongst many others. It was an enjoyable and informative experience and hopefully the students gained an insight into our varied roles within Sussex Police. We remain steadfast in our commitment to patrol both Rye Town and Rye Harbour during evening hours, with a focused effort on mitigating anti-social behaviour. This initiative is in direct response to the uptick in reports we’ve recently received. Please feel free to stop and chat with us regarding any questions or concerns you might have. We are dedicated to addressing and alleviating any problems in the area and in the local community. We are also actively working with partners agencies to address these issues and we look forward to working with and possibly patrolling the area with Rother District Council, who are equally informed and concerned about the prevailing issues. Great fun at Glenleigh Park Primary Academy & Nursery yesterday when we visited the reception class to talk about safe strangers, Road safety, and the exciting adventures of an officer. Of course, no trip to a school would be complete without the children dressing up in our uniform and getting the opportunity to see inside our police van. The obligatory police stickers and colouring sheets were also a big hit! No need to scout around for people to put in the cells, we had a whole bunch volunteer! When the Bexhill and Ninfield Scouts visited Hastings police station on 23rd January. During their visit, they had the opportunity to try on a variety of police uniform, prompting question on the different roles within the force and how we deal with different crimes. We then took them on a tour of the police station, with the custody suite and the cells being a roaring success. We ended the visit with a look at our police vehicles and the array of equipment they contain. Hopefully the visit provided the Scouts with a rare glimpse into the daily operations of the police service and the vital role we play in maintaining public safety.
