Year 11 Legal Studies Incursion – Police and PSO (Protective Services Officer)

Earlier this year three members of Victoria Police—a Sergeant, First Constable and Protective Service Officer—visited the Year 11 Legal Studies class as part of the Unit 2 Area of Study Law Enforcement. Several students are interested in careers in law enforcement and we were all keen to find out more—straight from the source!

The students had prepared two lists of questions: those relating directly to the VCE Study Design, and others concerning careers in law enforcement. All three officers were candid in their responses, sharing a wealth of information and detailed insights into their personal experiences. The students were so enthusiastic with their questioning the incursion ran overtime and into the lunch break, but nobody seemed to mind!

The students used what they had learned in their first Unit 2 SAC. The Officers also suggested that students contact them in future regarding both their studies or career aspirations.
