PCEP Police Constable Entry Programme

This is your opportunity to join our new police officer entry route and become a police officer with Warwickshire Police with a starting salary of £31,164. You will also receive yearly increments on the anniversary of your start date.

The new Police Constable entry programme (PCEP) is a 2 year programme where we will give you the opportunity to be employed as an officer from day one. You will be provided with a solid foundation of policing and receive support from our dedicated in - house training team. The team will teach you new policing skills to equip you to begin your journey as a Police officer. As a police officer you will play a vital role ensuring that our communities in Warwickshire are kept safe.

This is for a early 2027 start date.

Our Police Constable Entry Programme is our new and improved two-year work-based scheme aimed at people who wish to become a Police Constable through a more vocational route with no studying towards a degree. Whilst PCEP does not provide you with a formal qualification once you have completed your 2 year probationary programme, you will be able to consider other police officer roles dependent on your interests and aspirations.

Here at Warwickshire Police we have a strong family ethos, where our friendly teams work closely together to get the job done. You will be treated as a valued member of the team from day one. We look forward to you joining us!

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:

• Situational judgement test (SJT)
• 15 scenarios
• 4 responses per scenario – candidates will rate responses in terms of effectiveness
• Behavioural style questionnaire (BSQ)
• 80 statements

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 onto final interview. Finally if you are successful at interview you will move onto to pre employment checks which includes, references, vetting, fitness test and medical.
