I became disillusioned with life in GMP - now I make a bigger difference

When Joe Hull finished university, he pictured his life in two places - in the police, or as a teacher. He made a choice, and joined Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in 2000, where he stayed for just shy of 13 years.
Joe, from Stockport, had a successful career in the police. He spent several years both in uniform and in the Crime Investigation Department, reaching the rank of Detective Sergeant. His days involved investigating homicides, and working on tackling some of the biggest crimes across Manchester and beyond. He frequently worked with both young offenders and young victims.
But in his early thirties, something shifted. Joe became restless, feeling that his work with GMP was dealing with “the symptoms rather the causes of problems” that drag people and communities into crime.

“I didn't feel that I was having any kind of impact. I was just pushing a wheel round and round at times,” Joe told the Manchester Evening News . He began to “regret” his decision to join the police.
“Some of the people who I would see across the interview desk, I thought were really bright, really switched on and able to problem solve and, and really quite talented individuals.”
Joe said that during his time in GMP, he worked with hundreds of promising young people whose lives could have been totally different if they had made “different choices or had someone different influencing them as a young person”.
“I was also also alarmed by how often people with poor literacy or numeracy skills came to our attention both as victims and offenders,” he commented.
Disillusioned with his life in the police, Joe decided to make a career change after a “chance” conversation

Why ‘The Real World Homecoming: New Orleans’ Was Genius Reality TV
Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticThere may be few ways of living more disconcerting than to be a one-season reality-TV star. The forced adjustment happens twice: First, suddenly, you’re thrust into the line of sight of the nation or the world, made into a symbol of something greater than yourself and flattened out into someone less than you know yourself to be.
