Being a police officer is less about formal qualifications and more about the skills you already possess—skills that are developed through your daily experiences.
These skills come from your previous jobs, community involvement, friends, family, and personal values and expectations.
During the police officer selection process, we will assess these skills and help you develop them further through our comprehensive training programs. This will enable you to confidently uphold the law and make a positive impact on the people, places, and communities of Scotland.
If you are over 18 years old, physically fit, have lived in the UK for at least three years prior to application, and hold a manual driving licence, you may already have the skills we are looking for.
