Joining the Police Guide

Policing is a rewarding career, but the joining process to become a police officer is challenging: Only 1 in 10 applicants succeed! The assessment centre stages alone loses 3/4 of candidates, as all UK police forces demand only the best candidates to protect and serve the public.

England & Wales are recruiting 20,000 new officers alone ('Operation Uplift'), while PSNI and Police Scotland run regular police application processes too. These roaring '20s offer a great opportunity to join the police! This brand new digital guide helps demystify the police recruitment process in under 100 pages. It will help you through each step of the way, with practical insights, tips and guidance.
