What’s happening in policing?
"We want to move the [police] service into a position where it is prepared to meet the needs and challenges of the future and our aim is to give [police
officers and staff] access to the knowledge and skills they need
to succeed.“
(Chief Constable Alex Marshall, College of Policing Chief Executive, 2015)
• Agreed standards for educational attainment across the police service.
• Existing policing qualifications are not transferrable
• Inconsistency across forces –different training standards and preparation for roles
• Out of kilter with other professions –in partnership settings police work within a largely graduate environment –lack of parity with other professionals
• Establish a qualifications framework for policing so that individuals can gain recognition that has meaning and credibility. – Policing Education and Qualifications Framework (PEQF)
• Provide opportunities for existing officers and staff to gain accredited and publicly recognised qualifications for their existing skills, if they wish to do so.
• Develop three entry routes for new constables
• undergraduate degree in policing
• graduate conversion programme
• higher level apprenticeships
The course is being designed to prepare graduates for entry to careers such as:
Aimed at:
Police officerPolice staffUK Border ForceCourts systemPrison serviceA range of roles with local authorities or third sector organisations working in areas such as social housing, trading standards, victim support or substance abuse
