If you want to join the ranks of Lancashire’s police officers and have completed the BSc Professional Policing Degree, or are in your final year, then this is the route for you.
You can apply whilst waiting to complete your degree, you must have your final result before we can make you an offer of employment on our August 2025 course.
So how does it work? When you are successful in your application to join Lancashire Constabulary, you will commence a short period of initial learning (10-12 weeks) in the training centre at the Headquarters at Hutton nr Preston. This training will include sessions on personal safety training, ICT and systems training, CSI sessions, statement writing etc.
Once you have completed your training you will be placed onto an operational policing team with a Tutor Constable where you will be required to demonstrate competence in the police constable role and record your evidence in an operational competence portfolio (OCP). You will be with your tutor for up to 12 weeks after which you will be given independent patrol status and expected to continue to demonstrate competence as police constable during your remaining probationary period.
You will then deploy into your specified division and station for a period of around 4 weeks. Finally, a short period of training will commence before being permanently located with your new team out in division.
Once fully trained, officers will be well qualified, both academically and operationally, to work within the modern policing environment.
