Whether you’re a college leaver, a recent graduate, or you’re looking to study on the job, we’ve got an entry programme to suit you. Police Constable Entry Programme (PCEP) Unlike the other entry routes to become a police officer that require applicants to already hold a degree (or in the case of the PCDA work towards attaining one), this two-year programme does not require you to gain a related qualification. The programme is about developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to be ‘confirmed in rank’ as an operational police officer. The recruitment entry requirements are the same as those for the PCDA.It’s a two-year programme where you’ll focus on learning the skills needed for the job rather than working towards a qualification.

Everyone’s in the same boat so apprentices can share experiences and set up study groups.By the time you have completed your three years, you will graduate as a fully-fledged Merseyside Police Officer and be awarded a BSc (Hons) Degree in Professional Policing Practice.Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP)If you want to join the ranks of Merseyside’s police officers and already have a degree or will be graduating before the proposed intake date, then the Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) is the route for you. Based on a curriculum from the College of Policing’s new PEQF framework, this intensive two-year course combines study with patrol work alongside frontline officers. Run in conjunction with John Moores University the DHEP leads to a Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice validated by Liverpool John Moores University.New recruits are assigned to one of our training policing departments where you’ll be appointed a Tutor Constable, who will chart your progress as they alternate between periods of study and full operational duties, putting theory into practice.Once fully trained, all successful officers will be well qualified, both academically and operationally to work within the modern policing environment.Join us and you'll be on the ground, preventing crime and making a real difference to people's lives. It's not always easy, it's not always predictable, but the sense of reward and excitement is like nothing else.Nothing beats being a Merseyside Police Officer…Key Requirements
Level 2 Maths and English Language GCSEs which can be Grade C/4 and above or Level 2 Functional Skills or equivalent. We can only accept qualifications which are equivalent to this level of Maths and English specifically and cannot accept qualifications in other subjects.
