Recruit Trainee Constable Gemma Thorpe

Hi Everyone,

I'm Gemma an NT Trainee Constable for Squad 110. I've had a bit of a delayed start with this blog as we are already 10 weeks into our 26 week course, but i'll be blogging regularly from now to let you know whats new in the zoo of recruit training.

A little about me - I'm 26 and originally from Perth WA but have been living in Darwin for the past 2 years. Before I became a recruit I was working as a finance manager for Westpac. You could say its a bit of a change - indoor to out and pushing paper to pushing weights. But I wanted the adventure and in the near future I could be in one of the "big four" - Alice Springs, Katherine, Tennant Creek or DARWIN.

There are 22 in our squad (14 blokes and 8 chicks), we all get along famously which is a great start! We just finished a "Man Maker" fitness sesssion with the Deputy & Assistant Commissioner, which is one of our many crazy fitness regimes, heaps of study on Law and DEATH by powerpoint, but learning heaps - my brain is sore.

So that's it to start with, stay tuned for more......
