Following in his father’s footsteps. It’s a family affair for father-and-son Special Constables Mark and Adam Spedding from the Wakefield district. Adam recently teamed up and was shown the ropes by his dad Mark on his very first shift as a Special. Adam said: Ive wanted to be a Police Officer for as long as I can remember, so to go out with my dad on my first shift as a Special has been a privilege. Im based at Normanton, but Im really thankful to be given the opportunity to spend this time with my dad at Carr Gate. I want to get a few years experience under my belt before I apply to become a regular officer. My ambition is to work for Protective Services. Being a Special is by far the best way to prepare for that. Mark said: It really is a family affair now in our house, as Adams stepmum Sharon Whitehead is also a Special Section Officer at Carr Gate. Adams been passionate about joining the police since he was younger, so Im extremely proud to have been able to give him a few tips on his first shift. I started around the same age so its great for me to see him following in my footsteps. Itll be a really rewarding experience for him, and hopefully a great career.
