Specialist Pathways

All four routes can be tailored for specialist careers. New recruits on specialist pathways cover all essential learning plus additional content in their specialism.

Detective pathways

Forces typically offer:

• Detective degree holder entry programme – for degree holders 
• Detective police constable entry programme – usually no degree required

Both involve a two-year probation period and additional post-programme learning.

Speak to the forces you're interested in applying to and look on their websites, to see what they have on offer.
