Site Update Planned

As regular visitors will know PoliceUK has stuck to the same layout and design for well over 4 years, whilst there is nothing wrong with its current state I feel that it is now time for a change.

I plan to have time off in February 2008 and will be using this time to look at how the website can be developed to make it easier for visitors and more attractive to the eye. These changes will also see updated content and some new areas of the site which I feel will benefit those applying to the police force.

If anyone has any suggestions for the new site then I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at update@policeuk.com. Any ideas, no matter how small will be welcome. PoliceUK is and always has been there to help you, now's your chance to put your mark on it.

Many thanks for all your support in 2007, here's to a successful 2008!

Who's Recruiting?

Training Reform

Worried about the 12-week residential element of the probationer training scheme, is the thought of being away from those you care most about putting you off the idea of a career as a police officer? Well times are changing at Centrex because as of 2005/6 new recruits will undertake a new, modernised training programme.

Currently all Probationer Police Constables have to undergo a 12-week residential training course at a regional Centrex training centre, but the police force has realised that by subjecting new recruits to this process, they are losing out on more experienced recruits who simply cannot up sticks for 15-weeks to a training centre, in most cases hundreds of miles away from their loved ones, their home.

District training centres will close in May next year. From February all forces will be responsible for training new recruits locally.
