"The aim of the student officer placement is to maximise the learning experience for the student police officers and to give them an understanding of organisations and diverse community groups within Kent. This provides an opportunity for organisations and communities to contribute to the training of Kent Police officers, thus strengthening working relationships and enhancing better understanding and appreciations.

"Kent Police have been working in partnership with Caring Hands for a number of years. They are always readily supportive and accepting in hosting student police officers either on a two or four day placement and have hosted a vast number of students over the years. The hard work and effort Caring Hands put into the student placements is reflected within each student’s feedback.  The service Caring Hands provide to the Kent Police Initial Police Learning and Development Programme is always professional, friendly and most of all educational."
