To be eligible to join the police, you must:





be a British citizen, a citizen of the Commonwealth, EU or other EEA country, or a foreign national with indefinite leave to remain in the UK


be at least 18 years old


satisfy background and security checks and declare any previous convictions


have above average physical fitness, with good vision and colour vision (with or without glasses or contact lenses).


Before you are accepted as a trainee police officer, you will need to pass a series of tests covering areas such as working with numbers, communication, reading and writing skills, information handling, decision making and reasoning. You will also have a physical fitness test, a health check and a psychometric test.





Police officer recruitment is handled by individual police forces and their eligibility criteria can vary. Check with your local force for exact details 鈥?see the Police Service Recruitment, Consensia Partnership and Scottish Police Forces websites for contact details.





As a probationer, student officer or serving officer, you may be able to join the High Potential Development Scheme (HPDS). This Scheme is designed to develop future leaders and senior officers within the police force and leads to a Masters qualification. Check the Police Service Recruitment website, or the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) website for details.





What further training and development can I do?


During your first two years as a trainee (or probationer) police officer, you will spend time learning on the job within your local force and studying subjects such as community safety at a police college. This period is part of an Initial Police Learning and Development Programme (IPLDP) and includes supervised and independent patrolling.





Your probationary period will include working towards NVQ Level 3 in Policing, and you will also be expected to achieve NVQ Level 4 in Policing either during or shortly after this time. These awards cover areas such as communicating with the public, conducting investigations, presenting evidence in court and interviewing witnesses, victims and suspects.





You may increase your chances of promotion if you go on to study for a range of other NVQ qualifications such as:





Level 3 in Police Supervisory Management


Level 4 in Police Organisational Management


levels 4 and 5 in Police Operational Management


Level 5 in Police Strategic Management.


Throughout your career you will be expected to keep your skills up to date and take part in relevant training as necessary
