Can a have two jobs: policewoman and a job in media?

Could I have two jobs. I really would like to be a policewoman and someone who works in media, especially tv host or news reader...


Currently, I am in Poland but I am going to move to UK or Canada soon that's why I would like to know.


Thanks for the help!|||Generally no, you can't. One job would inevitably interfere with the other. As a police officer, you would be too biased to be effective in a media position. HOWEVER, police departments do have police officers that are assigned to speak with the media and that is their sole job. They notify the media of any ongoing investigations, sobriety checkpoints, speak opinions for the departments, etc.|||Sorry, no.


You can't join the British police unless you were born here and people need to be able to understand what the news reporters say.|||You wouldn't have the time to do both jobs. I don't think the police would allow it anyway. You would need to train for the police force, which is time consuming and for the media you would need the necessary qualifications.|||pcw not allowed to have other job in uk|||in the uk im sure you cant have a second job if you are in the police|||No





The Police have very strict codes of conduct and this wouldn't be permitted





Also as you weren't born here you may struggle getting into either occupation|||I think you would have your hands full with just one. If you are still young, you still have time to decide.|||OR you could be a police spokeswoman... best of both worlds!|||I've never heard of anywhere that hired part-time police officers. In the US and Canada, you've got to go to school and training for it first, anyway.





And good luck getting a news-related job without at least a 4-year degree in journalism.





The reality is that those options are not "jobs". They are careers, and require more than just part-time dedication. And worse, there's a HUGE conflict of interest between the two... as a person working in tv news, you'd want your reports to be as accurate as possible. As a police officer, you would have to withhold certain details from the media. It just wouldn't work.|||you can have a second job while in the police but it isnt aloud to be in the media..picture this.. you are a news reade and a WPC and you are undercover yu are going to be recognised instanty as a police officer. also you can get a job here as a police officer if you have a full visa and have lived here for longer than 3-5 years.|||Contrary to several other answers, EU citizens are eligible to join the British police, however nobody would be allowed to have a second job in the media.





About 2 years ago the Chief Constable of the North Wales Police was certainly considering recruiting a few officers from Poland, in order to help police the sizeable Polish population which has moved to his area in recent years and also to help control truckers on the roads to the ferry port to Ireland. See his blog here: http://www.north-wales.police.uk/portal/鈥?/a> I don't remember hearing that anything came of the idea, though.|||UK:





Of course not.





There's a clear conflict of interest.





You can't be privvy to confidential information and then disclose that information to the world...!!?!! Surely you are not serious!!





As a general assistance to others though, a Police Officer can have a second job. Before starting it though, it must be approved by the Chief Constable (having been approved by those on the Chain of Command). It's called a 'Business Interest'.





There are some restrictions in the rules, namely running pubs, taking an active role in politics etc etc.|||Sure you can do both. Just look at the great Peter Griffin. He is a millionaire astronaut who plays professional baseball and in his free time, he is a cowboy.
