Application Form

Are you eligible?
Before you proceed with your application, please check that you meet all the following criteria to
ensure that you are eligible to apply to become a police constable.
You must be 18 years of age or over at the time of applying.
All applications will be subject to robust medical/security/vetting processes and candidates
are advised that at some locations/establishments an enhanced level of vetting is required
which may result in applications being sifted out if they do not meet the required British
Nationality/Residency status. To this end, you must have resided continuously in the UK for
a minimum five year period immediately prior to your application to join as a new Police
Constable with MDP (with any absence from the UK being no more than six months during
this time). The qualifying UK residency period may be extended to 10 yrs for certain
sensitive postings. If you have resided abroad due to serving in the British Armed Forces or
on UK Government service, you are considered to have been resident in the UK.
You should not have a criminal record. If you have a conviction as an adult or juvenile it is
unlikely that you will be suitable but some minor offences and cautions may not exclude you.
Tattoos are not an automatic bar to appointment but please refer to Note 4 for further details on
what is not acceptable.
You must not be registered bankrupt with outstanding debts, have outstanding County Court
Judgments against you, or be subject to a current Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) in
England and Wales. The same criteria applies for equivalencies in Scotland.
You will need to be physically fit and you will need to pass the job-related fitness test (Currently
comprising of a bleep test to level 7.6). If you receive a conditional offer of employment or are
placed into a pool of successful candidates to whom it is intended a conditional offer will be
made when a position arises, you will undergo a medical screening. You will also need to meet
the minimum eyesight standards for corrected (glasses or contact lenses) and uncorrected
vision.
You may only apply to one police force at a time and your application will not be accepted if you
have previously applied unsuccessfully, within the last six months to any police force in
England & Wales that requires candidates to undertake the Police SEARCH
®
Recruitment
Assessment Centre.
Having a previous criminal conviction/s or caution/s, is not an automatic bar to joining the MDP.
However, you must disclose all convictions/cautions however minor when completing your
application form. We will judge each case on its merits. (Parking infringements are excluded)
There is currently no requirement for new entrants to have previously attained the Certificate of
Policing Knowledge.
If you are still uncertain as to your eligibility or have any questions, please contact us.
