I got an opportunity to take part in a block week with the guards. I didn't know what to expect from this work experience. But it definitely turned out to be my favorite one's so far. We got to see what life as a guard is like. It interested me more than i expected. I had briefly considered a career in the guards before, but i now consider it more seriously with a genuine interest in the job. Its a career that i can see myself doing, and a career that I would be happy in. On the first day we went to templemore. This was a good experience as we got to see the student guards training and learning. We also got to look around and see all the facilities that were available to them there.
We spent the next two days in the courts. This was also very interesting. We were allowed in on any court case that interested us. We attended many court cases ranging from theft to murder. We also spent a few minutes in the Elaine O'Hara.
The next day we went to westmanstown where we saw all the special units. We saw the mounted unit, the dog unit and the sub aqua unit.
