4. Entry routes and apply
We offer four entry routes into policing. Our PCDA and DHEP routes provide you with a fully funded degree or graduate diploma in Professional Policing Practice as part of the Policing Education Qualifications Framework (PEQF).
You’ll be employed as a police officer from day one, learning alongside experienced officers on the front-line, while earning a competitive salary and enjoying other discounts and benefits.
Choose the option that best fits your qualifications and experience – whatever you choose, you will be a welcome member of our team.
