Professional Policing Degree Holder Entry

Professional Policing Degree Holder Entry

Applications to join us as a Police Officer on the Professional Policing Degree Holder Entry are currently closed.

If you want to join the ranks of Lancashire’s police officers and have completed the BSc Professional Policing Degree, or are in your final year, then this is the route for you.

So how does it work? When you are successful in your application to join Lancashire Constabulary, you will commence a short period of initial learning (10-12 weeks) in the training centre at the Headquarters at Hutton nr Preston. This training will include sessions on personal safety training, ICT and systems training, CSI sessions, statement writing etc.

You will then deploy into your specified division and station for a period of around 4 weeks. Finally, a short period of training will commence before being permanently located with your new team out in division. * This training plan is subject to change.

Once fully trained, officers will be well qualified, both academically and operationally, to work within the modern policing environment, and can choose to specialise in one of the five core areas of policing: immediate response, community, road, intelligence or investigation.

This is an exciting and challenging way to train as a police officer, offering job security, a varied career and a starting salary of £31,164 (rising to £50,256 after 7 years).
