These GMP constables are some of more than 400 officers to complete the latest Police Now National Graduate Leadership Programme.
The programme, which started in 2014, takes those fresh from universities and turns them into trainees for two years at over 30 forces across the country.
The 2020-2022 cohort work at some 18 forces from GMP to the Metropolitan Police, and a number of other places in between, and are all now constables.
These officers celebrated the end of the programme this week at ceremonies attended by Assistant Chief Constable Matt Ward of West Midlands Police.
ACC Ward said: “It’s a genuine pleasure and privilege to congratulate you all on your Police Now graduation today.
“You reflect the best of UK policing. Be proud of where you are and what you’ve achieved. Continue to be the leaders that you’ve already demonstrated you are. Treat everyone fairly, act with integrity and be prepared to stand up and always do the right thing.
“Never forget why you joined policing and the pride you felt when you put on your uniform on day one. Never forget the pride you rightly feel today as you graduate as substantive officers. I will watch your careers with excitement, pride and interest over the coming years, congratulations.”
