Describe the mail work roles and investigate of two contrasting public services

For this A0 am I am going to describe briefly the range of jobs available in two
contrasting public services and then outline the main roles and responsibilities
In two from each service. I am going to look at the British Army for the first public
service and for the second public service I am going to look at the police force.
I am going to design a poster to display for this information.

I am going to look at different jobs and roles in the British Army there are a lot of
jobs in the Army some of them involve you learning new skill to meet the
requirements for the job/role you are going to take up. I am going to do the same for
the police force look at the different jobs and roles and in the police force for some of
the jobs you would need to learn new skill for the jobs for example CID and PCSO.

There are a lot of jobs in the British Army and roles to go into. Some of the jobs will
require you to learn new skills for example if you were going into the medical unit
you would need to have training to basic first aid and also good training in medicine.
Some other skills you would need are if you were going in to the engineering you
would need some basic training in car mechanics and you would have more training
in armoured vehicles and other army units.

British Army Medical & Music And Ceremonial

The Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) is a specialist corps in the British Army
which provides medical services to all British Army personnel and their families in
war and in peace. Together with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, the Royal Army
Dental Corps and Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps, the RAMC forms
the British Army's essential Army Medical Services.

The RAMC does not carry a Regimental Color or Queen's Color, although it has a
Regimental Flag. Nor does it have battle honors, as elements of the corps have been
present in almost every single war the army has fought. Because it is not a fighting
arm, under the Geneva Conventions, members of the RAMC may only use their
weapons for self-defense.

Ever since its formation The Band of the Royal Corps of Signals provides vital morale
and musical support to the Corps. The marching band in its traditional scarlet and
gold jackets, Hussar busbies and Wellington dress boots with swan necked spurs
provides an important public face of the Corps to the general public.

The Band regularly provides musical support to the Royal Corps of Signals for many
important ceremonies. Our recent appearance with the troops includes Changing of
the Guards at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, Home Coming and Medal
parades, Freedom parades, Remembrance services, and numerous major parades
where the Corps' Colonel-In-Chief, HRH The Princess Royal had been in attendance.

The concert band regularly performs and entertains military personnel as well as the
general public in support of numerous Forces and civilian charities around Dorset and
its wider areas. With our many outstanding musicians, the concert band performs a
wide variety of repertoire ranging from traditional military works, popular Broadway
favorites, to original contemporary wind band compositions. Our recent public
appearances include Shrewsbury Flower Show, Defense Academy of the United
Kingdom in Shriven ham and Rumsey Agricultural and Horse Show.

Police Force PCSO & CID

A Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) (Welsh: Swyddogion Cymorth

Cymunedol yr Heddlu, SCCH or Heddlu Ategol), or Community Support Officer
(CSO) (Welsh: Swyddogion Cymorth Cymunedol, SCC) is a uniformed non-
warranted officer employed by a territorial police force or the British Transport Police
in England and Wales. Community Support Officers were introduced in 2002 by the
Police Reform Act 2002. Proposals for PCSOs in Northern Ireland were prevented by
a budget shortfall in the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Scotland decided not to
introduce PCSOs after determining that such a step had, on balance, insufficient
merit.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is the branch of all Territorial police
forces within the British Police and many other Commonwealth police forces, to
which plain clothes detectives belong. It is thus distinct from the Uniformed Branch
and the Special Branch.

The Metropolitan Police Service CID, the first such organization, was set up on 7
April 1878 by C. E. Howard Vincent. Originally, it was under the direct command of
the Home Secretary, but since 1888 has been under the authority of the
Commissioner.
