Police Recruitment

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.
