What do the application and assessment process entail? Please give me an overview of the application process.

Please note applications are currently closed for our National Detective Programme. When open, the first step is applying online on the Police Now website. If you meet our eligibility criteria there will be an online assessment including a personality assessment and a situational based judgement assessment.

If you are successful we will invite you to attend one of our digital Assessment Centres. After your assessment centre, if you meet the benchmarks of the values and competencies we are looking for, you will be given a conditional offer. There will then be various medical and fitness tests you will need to complete before the beginning of the summer academy in August 2021.
