Mr Bill was marked very highly for his role play of interviewing a suspect - I said I thought it was from years of experience of interrogating the children to find out who exactly started the fight/broke the ornament/scribbled on the furniture...(the list goes on and on).
Mr Bill was very nervous about the interviewing as there is a lot of stuff to remember. He spent a great deal of time preparing for it - he had to work out exactly what he was going to ask the suspect, based on what he wanted to find out. It all gets quite complicated as what else you ask depends on what the answers are. The person who he interviewed had been instructed to be difficult and not helpful at all. Everyone said he handled it well and got as much out of the suspect as it was possible to do. It was also much better to have that suspect than the one who was told to act in a flirtatious manner with the female officer interviewing him - the rest of the recruits viewing the interview said it was hilarious.
When Mr Bill was the suspect he was instructed to admit to everything.
Now Mr Bill has a week off (well off Police work anyway - he has yet to see the list of things I have lined up for him to do!)

Good for him, I'm glad he did well.I would love to be a fly on the wall when the police are interviewing the crims.
I bet it's interesting.
I bet some of the experienced Police Officers have some great tales to tell.
Mr Bill enjoyed his go at interviewing and is looking forward to trying it out for real at some point in the future.
