Initial training frameworks for entry-level officers in Wiltshire follow nationally recognised models, ensuring you receive fully funded development and a competitive salary from day one:

• Police Constable Entry Programme (PCEP): A structured, practical two-year non-degree route focusing heavily on core frontline operational capabilities and response policing on the streets.
• Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA): An earn-as-you-learn three-year apprenticeship program combining everyday frontline policing with a fully funded university degree.
• Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP): A fast-tracked two-year work-based training framework designed explicitly for those who already hold a standard university degree in any subject.
• Transferee & Rejoiner Schemes: Ongoing lateral pathways for qualified, experienced officers looking to transfer their skills directly into Wiltshire Police from other Home Office forces.
