Detective Degree Holder Entry

This two-year programme also sees you achieve a Level 6 Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice but, as you'd expect, learning is biased towards an investigative perspective.

It's a more intense programme than the Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP), as you also need to successfully complete the National Investigators Examination and meet PIP2 assessment criteria in order to become a Professionalising Investigation Programme Level 2 (PIP2) accredited detective. 

Some forces offer 'Fast Track Detective Pathways' where candidates spend a period of time in uniform before they start their investigator pathway. Other forces offer a 'Direct Entry Detective Pathway' where candidates start in an investigation role.

Speak to the force you're looking to apply to directly to find out what's on offer.
