Bradford law student set for police detective programme

The busy 21-year-old is already a high achiever, dividing her time between studying the final year of her LLB (Hons) Law degree, working as floor manager at McDonald’s in Shipley, volunteering for the Witness Service at Bradford Crown Court, and being part of the Bradford Ravens University cheerleading team.  

And she recently passed the interview stage of West Yorkshire Police’s two-year Police Constable Entry Programme - Detective. 

She said: “I am really chuffed. I’ve always been interested in law and joining the police is something I’m really keen on. Knowing I am on track to have job security when I finish University is great. 

I have really enjoyed the law course at Bradford and the support, particularly from my personal academic tutor, has been great. I have also had a lot of opportunities – such as being involved with the cheerleading team – that I do not think I would have got elsewhere

She added: “I think Bradford sometimes gets a bad rap but I’m really positive about the city and what it has to offer, and I like to show that.”

Eve is active on Tik-Tok and recently made her thoughts known about how great her home city – and university – really is. 

In November 2025, Eve appeared on BBC Breakfast as part of a pre-Budget special. 

What’s next? 

Eve is focused on completing her studies and graduating in summer 2026, after which she hopes to join West Yorkshire Police, having already passed the interview stage. 

The police programme will involve Eve completing an initial training phase, then working in a policing district in West Yorkshire followed by developing investigation skills and starting their Trainee Investigator Development Programme. 

A typical week for Eve 

• Monday: Eve’s day off from studying when she creates content for her personal TikTok and Bradford Ravens’ accounts, working as their Social Media Executive. 

• Tuesday: Full day studying at university, then cheerleading training on the evening.

• Wednesday: Full working day in her volunteer role at Bradford Crown Court. 

• Thursday: Full day studying at university, then cheerleading training on the evening. 

• Friday: Full day on campus studying. 

• Saturday and Sunday: Eve will work at McDonald’s on one of the days and have the other day off. 

She added: “Organising time is probably the biggest pressure for me. In terms of McDonald’s, that’s physically demanding work, court is quite emotionally demanding, and university is academically demanding, it’s all very different.” 

McDonald’s 

Eve has worked at the Shipley branch of McDonald’s since she was 16, initially as a crew member, becoming floor Manager in November 2024. In her current role, she oversees the branch if the shift manager is not working. Her other responsibilities include managing up to 25 staff.

Court 

Eve works for Citizens Advice as a witness service volunteer once a week, offering support to any witness due to give evidence at Bradford Crown Court.  Eve and her fellow volunteers explain what will happen during the witnesses’ court appearance and help ease any nerves they may have about appearing in court.  

She said: “Our job is to make sure that they give their best evidence possible. It’s quite a stressful job, because it’s someone’s life that you’re looking after while they are there and you have to be emotionally intelligent and careful of what you say as they are sensitive cases that we deal with at Crown Court. I can’t go and tell my family ‘you’ll never guess what happened in court today’, so it is quite a weight on you, but it’s really good.” 

Cheerleading 

Eve is also a member of the University’s Bradford Ravens cheerleading team, training on campus twice a week, competing in tournaments across the country.  

She said: “When people hear cheerleading they think ‘it’s pom-poms and stuff’. It’s different to that. You need serious cardio and strength as you’re throwing and holding people in the air.”
