Pupils at Rickmansworth School quizzed the chief of policing in Hertfordshire last week.

Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, David Lloyd, visited Rickmansworth School on Monday, March 16 and spent an hour talking with a group of 16-18 year old pupils.

While at the Scots Hill school, Commissioner Lloyd faced questions about the legal system and told pupils about different routes into a career in the police force.

He also discussed his role as a politician, in setting policing priorities for Hertfordshire Constabulary, public service, volunteering and his views on policing in general.

Commissioner Lloyd said: “I was impressed by the young people at Rickmansworth School – they raised some interesting subjects which I enjoyed sharing my views on.

"They demonstrated a strong interest in the world around them and their ability to engage with a range of issues including politics, policing and crime.”

Caroline Wilkes, Head of Sixth Form at the school, said: “It was a privilege to welcome David to our school and to hear of how he has approached a relatively new role in policing.

"Our students found it very informative and now have a good idea of the actions they can take at this stage to pursue careers in this field in the future.”
