DC DHEP - Warwickshire Police
As a student police officer, you’ll get to learn new skills, meet new people and study for a degree in Professional Policing Practice, meaning that you can earn while you learn.
Here at Warwickshire Police we have a strong family ethos, where our friendly teams work closely together to get the job done and where you will be treated as a valued member of the team from day one.
If you apply to this campaign, we would be aiming for you to commence on the Programme in September 2024. We look forward to you joining us!
We strongly recommend that you attend one of our recruitment events to gain further insight into the role from our current Detectives. More information about our upcoming events and other information for your awareness about the Programme will be published on our website: Detective Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) | Warwickshire Police
At the time of application, candidates must have a full UK driver's licence and must have achieved, or are due to graduate in the year you are applying, with a Bachelor's Degree or higher. Please ensure that you upload the copies of your relevant qualification certificates onto your application form when you complete it.
Next Steps.....
We will check over your application form to ensure you meet the minimum eligibility requirements and if eligible to apply, you will be sent an automated invitation email for you to complete an online National Sift process involving two exercises:
As this is a nationally led selection process, you will be required to register on the system separately, however it is an extremely short registration process!
You will have 7 days to complete the exercises. These can be completed in any order you prefer, and at any time of day, 24/7, during that time.
Reasonable Adjustments: The national sift is not timed, therefore no reasonable adjustments are required. It is automatically compatible with text to speech software, changes to background colour and coloured overlays.
If you are unsuccessful you will be provided with feedback and will be eligible to re-apply after three months, however, you are only able to complete the national sift twice within a rolling 12 month period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If successful at the national sift you would then be required to complete an assessment centre, which you would be booked onto and have a week to complete it.
The assessment centre is designed to measure the behaviours and values required for the role of police constable as set out in the Competency and Values Framework (CVF). You can find out more about the CVF here:
Competency and values framework (CVF) | College of Policing
If you are successful at the above stages you will then move to pre employment checks which includes, references, vetting, fitness test and medical.
Please see the below link for fitness test guidance from the college of policing:
