PO/225/C Accelerated Detective Constable Programme

We are now open for applications for the Accelerated Detective Constable Programme. People with a curious, inquisitive mind, who think they have what it takes to be a detective, are encouraged to apply.

Successful candidates will be required to complete a year of intensive training and practical experience to ensure that the requirements of a police constable are met. Candidates will then complete the necessary training to obtain the detective qualification to become a detective constable.

Following training, you will be posted to a Response team who provide the initial response to both emergency and non-emergency calls. After 5 months candidates will then be posted to a team that investigates volume crime. This will be for 12 weeks and will build upon knowledge and experience gained to that point.

During the second year of the programme you will focus on detective training. You will get the opportunity to work within a number of different investigation teams, including those that deal with intelligence, serious sexual offences and serious assaults.

No previous policing experience is necessary to apply but it is essential that anyone applying displays the skills and attributes suited to the role, including an inquisitive mind, excellent interpersonal skills and a high degree of integrity. It’s a challenging job but also one which is extremely diverse and rewarding.

Starting Salary is £24,780 per annum.
