Police invite students on weekend '˜ride along'

Craigavon PSNI have made local A level students an offer of a ride along with them to help them decide on a possible career with the police.

The move comes off the back of a ride along conducted by Bangor PSNI although our local ‘peelers’ said: “We always thought we fell short on the ‘Ice cream parlours per capita’ ratio required for such a venture. Not any more.”

With the A level results very much in mind and with young people deciding on future careers Craigavon’s ‘laughing policeman’ said: “After doing my best Mrs Doyle impression to the Superintendent, ‘Go-wan, go-wan, go-wan...’ he gave in! So ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to announce our PSNI Craigavon Ride Along!”

He added: “This ride along is only open to those who got A level results this week. Whether you’re currently considering a career with ourselves or not, come and have a look at what it’s really like.

“To enter, we want to know how much craic you are, and what you will bring to the E section dynamic. I mean, we’re going to be in a car with you for several hours so... well negative banter just won’t cut it! Think of it as interview practice.”
