We got midterm break for a week and after that ended I had my first week of work experience with the Gardai in Leixlip. There were sixteen other people in the group, all from different schools. On the first day we went to Templemore,the Garda training college. We were shown around the area and had our lunch there. We were also shown the lecture halls and the swimming pool etc. On the second day we went to the Criminal Courts (CCJ). This was my favourite place to go and we got to watch many different cases. We went to Liffey Valley for lunch most days also which was really fun!!
On the third day we went to the water unit which was my least favourite place because it was quite boring but we got to see the boats they use to rescue people.
On the fourth day we went to the horse unit which i really enjoyed.We also went to Baldonnel where the Garda air unit is. We got to go instead the helicopters- not fly them ovbiously!! but it was really fun.
Finally, on the last day we stayed in the Garda station and a detective talked to us and showed us how to take fingerprints!!
I really enjoyed that week of work experience and was sad to see it end!
