The Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) is for people who already have a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent level 6 qualification) and would like to be trained to be a first-class police officer.
Join us as an operational officer, you’ll get to learn both 'on the job' and by studying at university over a two-year period, where you’ll be able to gain a diploma in policing. It doesn’t matter what subject your degree is in. The important thing is that by earning one you’ve already shown that you have the ability to research, evaluate and present evidence.
It's a unique role with unique demands that are ever-changing. You need to be adaptable to change and ready to think on your feet. Being a Police Constable means never knowing what's going to happen next. You'll be working long hours, typically :
6 days on, 4 days off. Days - 7am-4pm, Lates 3pm-12pm and Nights 10pm-7am or (Friday and Saturday) 3pm-3am.
You'll be in contact with the widest variety of people, and you'll be expected to act with integrity at all times - even when you're out of uniform. At the same time, it's a role that can give you some of the best and proudest days of your life. From protecting the vulnerable and saving lives to just making your local community feel safer, it's exciting, diverse and vitally important.
In return, you will have the benefit of working for a creative, forward-thinking force that is dedicated to keeping Derbyshire a safe place to live, work and visit.
Our community is incredibly diverse, so we should be, too. That’s why we’re working hard to build an inclusive workforce, where you can be yourself. Whoever you are. Wherever you’re from. We are currently under-represented in a number of areas and recognise that this message needs to reach talented individuals who can add diverse skills and experiences to our organisation.
