Applicantsare normally required to produce an optician’s test certificate issued within the preceding 12 months.

* One and a half weeks at your force’s local centre being given basic information and time to discuss hopes and fears in relation to the job.

* Two and a half weeks at a police station giving you a chance to observe the working environment.

* A ten week residential course at a national police training centre where you learn and are trained in relation to the professional and personal skills and abilities you need for the job. (Everything from community awareness to punctuality! )
