During the session, learners heard how Mark achieved his childhood ambition of joining the police force and gained valuable insight into careers within law enforcement. Learners had the opportunity to ask questions about his experiences in policing and learn more about the realities of working within the criminal justice system.

Mark also read an extract from his book, which tells the story of his journey from Tyneside teenager to Teesside police officer. The visit not only supported learners' understanding of their Law studies but also promoted the enjoyment of reading and demonstrated how personal experiences can be shared through writing. The session was both engaging and informative, providing learners with a real-life perspective on careers in policing.
