Recruits give up McDonald's jobs to work in police
Five people have given up jobs at McDonald's to train for a police force.
Cambridgeshire Police said 16 officers have started its latest degree apprenticeship and have taken part in a passing out ceremony in front of friends and family.
The force said three of the recruits were working in a supermarket and others came from jobs as a lifeguard and a decorator.
"They will study for a degree, earning while they learn, with no tuition fees or debt," a spokesperson said.
They were welcomed onto their course by Assistant Chief Constable Vaughan Lukey and Police and Crime Commissioner Darryl Preston.
