He thinks it s useful and interesting. He has been a policeman for ten years and now he s a sergeant but he often thinks of his first two years in the force and laughs at some of the things that happened to him.

After his first nine months in the force Paul was thinking of giving up. He just couldn t get used to the hours he had to work early turn from six till two late turn from two till ten or worst of all night shift from ten till six. But the work was sometimes exciting.

At one forty-five in the afternoon Paul was sitting round a table with his colleagues waiting for his orders. Sergeant Hawkins gave Paul his orders last because the men were dealt with in alphabetical order. Hawkeye as the men called him was a grandfather and treated all the young policemen as boys. Sgt.

At the end of each hour he phoned the police station to report to Sergeant Hawkins. At the end of four hours he had eaten six icecreams smoked twenty cigarettes and walked round the park .
