Job description

The skills you need to be a police officer might be the ones you already have.

Being a police officer is less about formal qualifications and all about the skills you already have, skills that get added to every day.

Those skills come from the jobs you do, the community you live in, your friends, family and the expectations and values that you set yourself.

The skills that we will look for during the police officer selection process and develop through our high-quality training programmes will allow you to confidently uphold the law and make a difference to the people, places, and communities of Scotland.

If you are over 18 years old, physically fit, have lived in the UK for a minimum of three years at the point of application and have a manual driving licence, you could already have the skills we need.

Being a police officer really is a job like no other. Here are just some of the benefits:
