Garda Reserve Training Videos

Along my google travels, searching for Gardai photographs, I came across this page on the website for Inver National School in Co. Mayo. I really do feel for the two Guards, Amanda and Gary, in these videos. You can see the pain in their faces. Two years in Templemore never readied them for this!

Garda Work----------------------------------


We start off with an explanation of what the Gardai do, mostly involves seatbelts.

Garda Notebook----------------------------------


Gary is careful not to show page 4 of his notebook, which contains that drawing he made of his super while on the beer last friday night

Garda Baton----------------------------------


"When the drug baron pulls out his Uzi, I wobble this in front of his face like Harry Potter, and whoosh, he drops down dead!"

Garda Handcuffs----------------------------------


Gary appears to be joking when he says that he has no keys for his handcuffs, but due to a spate of cutbacks by minister McGowell, keys have been classed as an unnessecery extra.

Garda Training----------------------------------


Sum up your job: "The pay isn't great"

If you managed to watch all those videos in entirity, congratualtions, you now have more training than the average Garda Reservist!
