I'm told Matt loved sport and that it was no coincidence his OE took place in London in time for the Rugby World Cup five years ago. His OE was part of a bigger plan to get some life experience, suggested to him by a police officer when he first expressed an interest in joining the police. When he finally applied, the person who did his recruitment interview noted that he was "a mature and skilled professional with a developed sense of resilience, excellent problem solving skills, and the ability to perform under pressure."
