Become A Police Officer
Joining The
Police Force
The role of a
police officer is now seen as one of the top
jobs due to the fantastic career
opportunities, the break from the 9-5
routine, the security one the job, the
specialist options and the pay and pension
options. All of these makes this a job that
many people dream of becoming.
Did you
know...
-
there are
no minimum or maximum height
requirements
-
there is
no formal educational requirement
It is a job
that can be started by some one just leaving
school at 18 or someone who is simply
looking for a career change aged 40. The
police are always looking for officer with a
wide variety of backgrounds and skills.
It also a very rewarding career as you are
able to help people on a daily basis and
give something back to the community. You
will also get to work with some of the most
challenging people imaginable who constantly
test your skills as an Officer. As an
officer you also have a tremendous amount of
responsibility and are seen as a highly
respected member within society.
The
Police Recruitment Process Explained
STEP
1: The Police Application Form
The police application form is the first
stage in the recruitment process and is your
first step to becoming a police officer. If
you are successful at this stage you will
then be asked to attend an assessment centre
where you will be challenged and tested both
physically and mentally.
STEP 2: The Assessment Centre
The
assessment itself will last approximately four to five hours. The assessment is
standardised across all 43 forces in
England & Wales, so regardless of which police force you
are applying to, you will take the same assessment.
You will take part in:
• a competency-based structured interview,
which is made up of four questions;
• a numerical reasoning test;
• a verbal logical reasoning test;
• two written exercises; and
• four interactive exercises.
A small
number of forces may call you back for what
we term an “in force” interview. This is
effectively due to some forces not trusting
the national system and will occur after the
assessment centre.
STEP 3: Medical
and Vetting Checks
Upon completion of the assessment, the force
will then carry out the necessary security
and financial vetting and ask you to
complete a medical history questionnaire.
Your medical history form
will be evaluated by a medical expert. You
will then be asked to attend a full medical,
including a mandatory drugs and alcohol
test.
STEP 4: The Police Fitness
Test
The final stage of the
process is the fitness test. Some forces do
complete the medical and fitness test prior
to you completing the assessment centre.
RESULTS:
You will receive a ‘candidate
feedback’ report providing detailed
information on how you performed in the
assessment process. The aim of the report is
to show how you performed in each of the
competency areas and exercises. Your force
will give you your candidate feedback
report.
Insider Information To Help You Become A
Police Officer...

Every year, about 60,000 - 65,000 people apply to be
police officers but less than 7000 are
actually successful and go on to achieve
their dream job.
The
assessment team will be examining you at all
stages of the process and you need to make
an impression and every stage and this
includes the police application form.
If you fail to demonstrate an understanding
of key areas such as diversity and awareness
and also match the core competencies your
application will not be successful.
The recruitment process examines
seven key skill areas:
-
Diversity
-
Community
and Customer Focus
-
Problem
Solving
-
Effective
Communication
-
Resilience
-
Team
working
-
Personal
Responsibility
The
assessment centre has been designed to make
sure that you are assessed on each of the 7
competencies relevant to the role at least
three times, except for Race and
Diversity’, which will be assessed
in every exercise.
You
must obtain the required level in each of
the seven areas in order to pass. To make
things slightly more difficult, a single
grade D in the area of diversity means an
automatic fail, irrespective of the overall
mark scored
The Problem For Most Applicants...
Currently
a massive 75% of
applicants who want to join the police force
never make it further than the police
application form stage and
get the chance to attend the assessment
centre. This means
only a small 25% are successful
at such an early stage...The
bad news is, that the majority of candidates
fill in the police application form
and just
hope for the best, hoping that they are
successful not really knowing if they
matched the criteria.
And that figure is likely to increase...
The
recent recession is also affecting the
applicants chances of success. In times of
economic uncertainty people turn to jobs and
careers that are not only secure and safe
but also pay a reasonable salary and the job
of a police officer fits the criteria as a
perfect match.
"What this means is that more
and more people are applying to join the
police and so the competition grows. The result
is that the recruitment staff have more
applications to sift through and find it
increasingly difficult to separate
candidates."
