Apprenticeship scheme success story: Seb Kitts

Seb is one of our six Business Admin apprentices currently working within Lincolnshire Police. He currently works within the Firearms Licensing Unit. 

"I joined Lincolnshire Police as an apprentice following my completion of the BA Professional Policing degree at Lincoln College. The reason I joined was due to a desire to have a career with the police but not knowing exactly what I wanted to do.

"My advice if you’re thinking of doing an apprenticeship is to try to keep an open mind and stick with it. The first couple of weeks will always be the hardest because it’s a lot of information at once, but once you get comfortable it no longer feels like a job, and it becomes an enjoyable learning experience.

"I started in my first department which was IMU (Information management Unit) and I’m currently in Firearms Licensing (FAL). My highlights so far have been being able to experience a day out with a response officer going to various places and incidents, watching a training exercise with a taser, and doing Secret Santa with my peers and cheeky chips with them."
