Police staff training can vary from online learning packages, on the job training, classroom programmes and other job-specific activities. If you are applying for a staff role in our Communications Centre, there is a set training plan over 8 weeks which you will find out more about upon successful offer. Other departments will have specific training plans that will be set out in the induction process.

We hold regular in-house workshops on general skills such as presentation skills, self-reflection and personal wellbeing. We also have an in-house leadership development programme to equip you with the transferable skills to become a future leader.

We are committed to supporting our staff and helping them develop in their roles. Your line manager will help to keep you on track with regular Performance & Development reviews where you set plans for your development and training needs and identify any skill gaps you may have.
