The Apprentice
Kabir Hayat joined GMP in March 2013 as an apprentice operational support officer. He lives at home in Burnage and has one older brother, two younger brothers and one younger sister.
Ever since he was in High School Kabir has wanted to work for the police and while there studied uniform public services.
When he left college he had various jobs building his experience whilst waiting for opportunities to open within the police. It was his dad’s friend, who works for GMP, who told him about the apprentices being recruited. He went along to the open day, filled in an application form got an interview and successfully became one of 22 apprentices out of 500 applicants.
He works at Hyde and is part of the INPT there dealing with mainly anti-social behaviour and vulnerability issues. He really enjoys the contact he has with the public and the rapport he is able to build up with the public when speaking to them over the phone.
He finds his workload challenging in a good way. As it was a new role, he has been able to develop it in a way that helps support the neighbourhood team by focusing his time on particular issues that are relevant at any one time.
He really enjoys working with the community on a range of issues that affects peoples’ lives, providing reassurance and making a difference.
In the long term he would like to become a regular police officer.
