Every neighbourhood needs a leader to support and strengthen their community. As a neighbourhood police officer, you can stop crime before it happens. You can build a better tomorrow.
Our two-year programme is designed to develop your leadership and problem-solving skills to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour. We will teach you everything you need to know about working with communities and local partners, to proactively identify issues and build trust and confidence in policing.
Your salary is paid from day one when you start our training academy. You will then spend two years embedded in a neighbourhood. This will give you the opportunity to become a visible leader in the community, engage with partners to support and safeguard the vulnerable and prevent those at risk of offending. Our programme prepares you to make a positive change and stop crime before it happens. There is no greater feeling than seeing the work you do impact someone’s life for the better.
For your ambitions, career goals, promotions. For every brave new idea and the lives you’ll change. Become a neighbourhood police officer.
Training and development
Our award-winning training sets the foundation for a successful and transformative career in policing. Throughout the Police Now training academy, you’ll have access to a Performance and Development Coach who will support you to navigate a new career and maximise your potential. You'll also have the opportunity to apply for a secondment during the second year of the programme, which is a unique opportunity to develop skills and gain valuable experience working with external partners.
Career progression
Once you successfully complete the programme, you will be a fully warranted neighbourhood police officer with a permanent role in policing. You’ll also join our Police Now alumni network.
Many of our graduates have been promoted after completing the programme or have taken the opportunity to explore other areas of policing such as Counter Terrorism, Firearms or Investigations.
Rewards and benefits
Salary
Your salary will commence on day one of your training academy. You will receive a starting salary of £29,907 – £38,269, depending on location. Your salary will increase each year up to over £48,000 within seven years.
Leave
You’ll start with 22 days per year (on top of public holidays), rising to 30 days depending on your length of service. You can also expect other forms of leave including adoption, maternity and paternity.
Work-life balance
This is not your typical 9-5. Police officers work varied shift patterns which gives them flexibility and freedom to maximise their time outside of work. Different to your typical working week, you’ll often receive several days off in a row. It may take some time to adapt to shift pattern working, but once you do, you may find that the flexibility of the schedule allows you to better balance work and home life.
Pension
You’ll automatically be enrolled as a member of the Police Pension Scheme 2015, which awards police officers for their dedication and service to the public. It offers a generous and secure retirement package, providing officers with financial stability and peace of mind.
Financial services discounts
There are various partner organisations who work alongside the police to offer a variety of financial services including saving, investment and protection products, as well as discounts and subsidies. Many major high street stores, retail outlets and other national organisations offer discounts and special deals to police officers. Most police forces also provide access to a number of subsidised leisure and sporting activities.
