The new recruits
ELEVEN student officers were welcomed into Essex Police at a passing out parade.
Family and friends watched on as the new officers were awarded for their high performance in officer exams and training.
They passed out in front of deputy chief constable Julia Wortley and magistrate Mrs Dawn Roche at the weekend at Essex Police headquarters.
The students also raised £2,128 for Unlock a Life for Lockey.
