One of Suffolk s newest police recruits has taken a look back at becoming a constable – in a year like no other.
Pc Molly Stanmore began training to become an officer with Suffolk Constabulary at the end of May 2020, while the UK was still in the midst of the first Covid-19 lockdown.
The 26-year-old had applied for the police in summer 2019 after deciding to change career from teaching at a special school near Colchester.

A 21-year-old man has been charged with drug offences following a series of police raids.
About 40 officers from across Suffolk Constabulary carried out raids at six addresses within the town shortly after 9.45am on June 1.
A police spokesman said: Four men - aged 28, 26, 24 and 23-years-old - all from Lowestoft, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug and have been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
A fifth man was also arrested following a raid on a property in Eades Walk, Carlton Colville, and police said he had since been charged.
