Detective Constable Entry Programme (DCEP)

Detective Constable – Detective Constable Entry Programme (DCEP)

The DCEP incorporates a ‘uniform first’ approach where you will spend time working in a front-line uniformed police constable role, before starting your detective learning.

The whole learning programme from starting at training school to being confirmed as a substantive detective is four years. Your detective learning will be with the Met's crime academy and follow a modular course with other trainee detective constables.

Change needs you, start a career like no other in London’s Met.
