Young people are being offered the chance to experience roles in the police.

Cheshire Police will be offering the chance to take part in its work experience week.

Successful applicants, who must be in Year 10, 11 or sixth form, will be given the opportunity to try their hand at the variety of roles available within the force.

To apply students will be asked to explain, in no more than 250 words, what policing means to them and why they would like to attend.

The placements will take place in July.
