| As you know, our job is to protect the public from criminals and defend the law. So, obviously, the police force has to work every day of the week, day and night. This means we’re often at work when everyone else is relaxing with friends and family, and we can't always be around for special occasions, like birthdays and New Year’s Eve. On top of that we have a lot of extra work at weekends. especially when there's a football match and the fans are out celebrating. So our working hours are one disadvantage of police work. A lot of the time we have to work with the public to avoid problems, and we get special training for that. But we can't always prevent trouble, so another disadvantage of the iob is the danger... I mean. we know that some of the pepple we have to arrest will attack us. |
