A police officer's duties

What does a police officer do? With a partner,
list as many activ'ties as you can think of in
two minutes,
A police officer has given a talk to a school class
about his iob. As part of the talk, he gave out an
information pack to the students. Read the
extra.ts from the information pack below. What
activities does he mention? How many are the
same as your ideas?

People have to lollow the law so thai we can a I ive

together safely. There are a lot of d fferent aws. so

pollce officers have a ot of d fferent duties Some

offcers clirect lraffic to make sure thaL dlvers can
use the roads east y and w thout hav ng acc dents
They a so use radar speed gufs to dentify people
who are clr v ng too fast. This is very important Drivers
mustn't speed because speed ng s one of the eading
causes ol death on the road. Po ice offcers also check
that drivers and passenge6 are weat ng the r seat belts

tSome peop e get angry because they don ke to wear

them, bLrL seat bells can prevent serious inluries f you
have an acc deni. So remember, when you get nto a
car. you must wear your seat beltl

Of course police officers a so nvestgate cr mes ke robberes When there has been a cr me,
po ce off ceTs are sent io the p ace where ll happened. They need to look for evidence, like

fingerpr nts and footprints, which can be used to identiry and arrest the crim fal Of course,

they don't have t0 recognize the f ngerpr nts themse vesl There are fingerprint expeds who do

that. Po ce officers also have to ask a ot of questions. They nterview wtnesses who they
th nk m ght have nformaijon about the cr me. W tnesses caf he p the po ce by te jng them

ffi Police officers try io ptevent climes as well as so ve crimes They oIlen watch p aces where

Military iobs

Look at the pictures. Which of the job5 looks the most interesting?
Which do you think you can do in the military?

Haue you euer thought about
joining the military?

There are many different mi itary jobs, so yo! should be ab e to flnd
one thats right for you. The military has three branches: tlreLand
Force, the Navy and the Air Force. lf yo! choose the Land Force, you
can h elp protect the country from lhe ground. ln the Navy yoL carl
work on or with the ships that protect our lvaters. 11you ike aircraft,
yoLr can ioin the Air Force and work with airp anes and helicopters.
You nust be l8 years old to join.

Not alLjobs ir, the military involve fighing. For exarnple, there are many
interesting jobs for peop e with a iechnica backqro!nd. lf you are
interested in computers, yo! can becorne a complter specialist. The
mi ltary needs computeTs to keep and organize informatiorl about many
things, sLrch asthe weather and temperature. And it needs people who
know computers to install and mainlain the software and hardware.

There are a so non lechnicaljobs in the milltary. Drivers are !sua ly
needed to transporl food and eq uipm ent from one place to another.
You might have to use a radio, but you neednl be very techn cal But
you do have to be in good physical conditlon. Drjving a rnilitary vehicle
ls not like diving your car on the roadl You must be ab e to drive off
the road and in bad weather conditions.

I\,4ost peop e want a chance to get a better job if they are good at
what they do. ln the military, you can take a test to become an otficer.
otficers lrave more responsibiliry and more ditficult jobs, but rnany
peop e think those jobs are also more interesting. officers can do
rnany ditferent jobs, too:they can p iot airplanes, superuise co'nputer
technicians, or even be doctors at the army base.

You don't have to have o lot of experience when yo! join the military.
When you start, you spend a otofllme earningnewthinqsina
classroom. Thef you get a lot of practice using your new ski s. The
things you earn are not on y !sefL whi e yoL are in the mllitary, brlt
can be usetul oltside, too. This means that when vou leave the
rnllitary, Vour trainin0 can he p you find a civilian job.
