Police Constable - Degree Holder Entry Programme

DEGREE HOLDER ENTRY PROGRAMME (DHEP)

If you want to join the ranks of Merseyside’s police officers and already have a degree or will be graduating before the proposed intake date, then the Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) is the route for you. Based on a curriculum from the College of Policing’s new PEQF framework, this intensive two-year course combines study with patrol work alongside frontline officers. Run in conjunction with John Moores University, the DHEP leads to a Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice validated by Liverpool John Moores University.

New recruits are assigned to one of our training policing department where you will be appointed a Tutor Constable, who will chart your progress as they alternate between periods of study and full operational duties, putting theory into practice.

Once fully trained, all successful officers will be well qualified, both academically and operationally to work within the modern policing environment.

This is an exciting and challenging way to train as a police officer, offering job security, a starting salary of £26,682, and university fees paid by Merseyside Police.
