What was the reaction when your
sister decided to become a Police
Officer?
Some friends were a bit surprised at
first - but everyone’s happy now. We
treat it just like any other job, to be
honest. She’d done work as a Special
Constable in London. So she’d always
had this interest in the Police Service.
“My sister speaks
Gujarati and Hindi.
Perfect for a job with
the Met in Wembley.”
How did your parents react?
I suppose they were a bit concerned at first, knowing she was based in London.
But they accept that it’s her career choice. And it means she can put her
languages to good use. They were pleased about that.
Where do languages help as a Police Officer?
Taruna gives advice to communities and schools - it’s all part of her role as a
community Police Officer. There’s a large section of the Indian community here
who are from our region and it helps enormously that she can speak the
language.
