Police recruit overjoyed to start his career at same base as role model
A new police recruit is enjoying a dream start to his career at the same police base as his role model - more than a decade after looking up to him as a schoolboy.
Pc Mitchell Siviter was inspired to become a bobby following school talks by Sandwell young persons’ officer Hughie Treasure more than 10 years ago.
The student officer went on to complete a training programme and is currently part of force CID based at West Bromwich Police Station.
He was pleasantly surprised to find Pc Hughie - who was awarded an MBE for his work with young people - at their shared police base.
