Robert joined the force in May 2006 at the tender age of 18 and has every intention of joining as a police constable at some point in the future. He has mainly worked reactive during these two and a bit years and is looking forward to working the rural area as it is a more proactive and community led style of policing instead of just reacting to incidents. During the day Robert works for a computer organisation in their national distribution centre (NDC). Robert would recommend being a Special Constable to anyone considering it, it is a fantastic way to put something positive back into the community.
