PO/402/H Accelerated Detective Constable Programme

Police Officer - Probationer
Hertfordshire Constabulary
Forcewide
£23,586 + £2,000 South Eastern allowance

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

You are required to complete 2 forms to apply for the ADCP.  These are:

  1. The application which you will access through the ‘apply now’ button.  This is the online competency based application for the role of Police Officer.
  2. The attached word document which is the ADCP Technical Application Form.  This additional form must be completed and submitted to ADCP@herts.pnn.police.uk by 23:55 on 10th February 2019. 

Applications submitted after the closing date will not be considered.

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.

Following training, the initial posting will be to the Case Investigation Team who deals with prisoners and related crimes. After 3 months candidates will then be posted to either a Local Crime Unit, which deals with Serious and Complex Investigations, or there may be the opportunity to specialise in one of the other Crime Teams.

The Crime Teams within Hertfordshire are varied, from Fraud, through Safeguarding Command which deals with offences against children and adults with vulnerabilities. There are also opportunities within Serious and Organised Crime Teams.

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 £23,586 per annum plus £2,000 south eastern allowance.

Please note, for Hertfordshire internal candidates, if you are currently a Communications Operator, Detention Officer or a PCSO you will need to have completed a minimum level of service in that role before you are able to apply.  This is to ensure the Constabulary receives a return on investment on the training invested for your current role.  This is 18 months for Communications Operators and 12 months for both Detention Officers and PCSO’s.

Members of the Special Constabulary and Police Community Volunteers are welcome to apply.

If you are currently at the pre-employment checks stage to become a Police Officer with Hertfordshire Constabulary, unfortunately you are ineligible to apply on this occasion.
