Hello, I'm Mike McKue.
I'm a lecturer but also Programme Director for the Professional Policing
degree here at the University of Hull.
The programme is enabled to allow you
to look at various
criminological theories, looking at areas of policing
and in particular get a taste of what policing is like in the real life world,
by allowing you to apply to become a special constable
within the Humberside Police area.
This is an absolute unique selling point to the University of Hull.
You will also have the opportunity whilst on the course
to use your theoretical knowledge from the lecture theatre
and put that to practice into our newly designed crime scene room.
This will test your crime prevention skills, your investigation skills,
and your all round knowledge of policing.
It gives you an insight into the world of how
evidence and policing work together.
You are in a unique position to have two recently
retired practitioners who are lecturers on the course.
This provides you with
lived experience when talking about all things related to policing.
I hope you will take the opportunity and come and study
at the University of Hull on the Professional Policing programme.
