This booklet will include all the information you will need to know to join the police force. It will include all the words mentioned above and will be written in detail.

Educational
No formal education is necessary, but you will be required to pass a written, numerical, and logical reasoning test should you clear the initial application stage. I would help to have a GCSE in a different language.

Written, Numerical & Logical Tests

In the numerical reasoning test, you will be asked to answer 25 multiple choice questions which will measure your ability to solve numerical problems accurately You will have 12 minutes to complete the test. In the verbal logical reasoning test , you must answer 31 multiple choice questions in 25 minutes ,which will measure your ability to reason logically when given facts about events Physical Tests You must be physically fit in order to effectively complete the duties required of a police officer. All applicants must pass a basic fitness test before appointment. Height Restrictions There are no minimum or maximum height requirements. In the police force anymore.

Heath
Applicants must be in good health mentally and physically to deal with the pressures and demands of police work. You will be required to undergo a medical examination to ensure you meet the health standards required. This will include an eye test, where failure to pass will unfortunately lead to rejection.

Age
You must be at least 18 years old to become a police officer. There is no upper age limit, but bear in mind that the normal retirement age for police constables is 60.

Tattoos
Tattoos which are particularly prominent, garish, offensive or undermine the dignity and authority of your role are unacceptable. This guideline also applies to facial

Financial Status
All applicants will have their financial status checked. These checks are carried out because police officers have access to privileged information, which may make them vulnerable to corruption. Any applicants with outstanding County Court judgements, who have been registered bankrupt with outstanding debts, will be rejected. If you have discharged bankruptcy debts then you will need to provide a Certificate of Satisfaction with your application.

Nationality
You must be a British Citizen, citizen from the European Economic Area (EEA), Commonwealth citizen or foreign national with no restrictions on your stay in the United Kingdom. In accordance with Home Office guidance and the Association of Chief Police Officers National Vetting Policy, candidates are reminded that they must have been continually resident in the UK for the three year period immediately before an application is made. This is to satisfy the requirement to vet all applicants in an equitable manner and the UK Police service does not currently have any means of facilitating vetting checks overseas, to the extent required of those who have been resident in the UK. Applicants, who cannot be vetted, cannot be appointed.

Criminal Record
You may still be eligible to join the police service if you have minor convictions/cautions, but there are certain offences and conditions that will make you ineligible. This includes anyone who has received a formal caution in the last five years, committed a violent crime or public order offence. Please refer to the National Policing Improvement Agency Circular 01/2010. You can view this document on the NPIA website.

Previous applications
You can only apply to one police constabulary at any one time. If you have previously applied to join the police service and been unsuccessful, you must wait six months from your initial rejection before you can apply again..

Membership of the BNP or a similar organisation

South Wales Police has a policy of prohibiting any of our officers or staff from becoming members of the BNP, or a similar organisation whose aims, objectives or pronouncements may contradict the duty to promote race equality. If you are, or have previously been a member of the BNP or a similar organisation, your application may be rejected.

Probation
All newly-recruited police officers must undertake a Two-year probation period. You work with the public to insure that they are safe and have an awareness of the impact on crime on there victims and the public
