I was standing in their shoes in #Durham almost 45 years ago. (Where have those years gone?) No obvious ethnic diversity here, but quite a striking gender balance in this particular group of recruits. The reality is that #policing is a great career for young women and men alike.
Last night we welcomed 2ā£4⣠new police officer recruits into the force at an official attestation ceremony.

Congratulations and thank you to @DurhamPolice for opening their Training Centre to @bbc5live and @chriswarburton_ today, giving a great insight into the varied aspects of police training. All of the officers interviewed sounded very professional and thoroughly engaging.
A message from my account tells me that I joined #Twitter exactly 12 years ago today, way long before it was sold and changed overnight to X. Call me a dinosaur if you wish, but it's still Twitter to me and this is still a #Tweet#MyTwitterAnniversary#Retweetswelcome
