POLICING students from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) have been sworn in as special constables.
Lancashire Police and the British Transport Police (BTP) have welcomed 36 UCLan foundation policing students who will work alongside their studies.
Principal lecturer and academic lead for policing Clive Tattum said: “The UCLan foundation degree in policing has a proven and long-standing record of preparing students for a career in policing.
"Year on year our students have found full time careers as police officers with our partner police forces Lancashire Constabulary and British Transport Police, and other police forces nationally.
"This is further proof of the role that higher education has in preparing students for the challenges of policing and serving the public.”
Each student will commit to 16 hours per week as a special constable during their two year course, with the option of progressing onto degree level study.
