Twins, 18, both qualify as police officers with same force after dreaming of being cops since they were little
TWINS Jodie and Molly Hill make an arresting sight after both qualifying as police officers with the same force.
The 18-year-olds have wanted to be cops since they were little.
A family snap showed them dressed up aged nine and by 13 they had joined the cadets to get a better insight into the emergency services.
Now, just two days apart, they have become fully fledged officers and will pound the in beat Northamptonshire.
Molly said: “To have my twin in the service feels amazing.
“We both have different career paths to move on to in the future, but to be working with each other in the same force is great.”
The sisters went on to join the force through the non-degree entry route.
Jodie explained: “I wanted to join the police as soon as I could.
“I think being at cadets helped me feel more confident in taking the next step.”
She added: “I got my formal offer on a Tuesday, however Molly didn’t get hers until the Thursday.
“Waiting for Molly’s offer was nerve-racking. As soon as she got hers there was a massive relief and we were all so happy. I’m very excited to be doing training with her and then progressing on to different specialist units and watching us eventually go down different pathways.
“Our family and friends are proud of us and think it’s a great job. I know our family do worry, as you don’t always know what you are going into, however I also know that I have help and support if needed.”
When asked whether there would be any competition between them as they start their careers, Jodie replied: “Everything we do we try and put it in a competitive way to make both of us improve and become better.
“However, with the police it’s all about working together and helping each other.”
