Policing

Overview

At Wrexham Glyndwr University, those who successfully progress will then be expected to undertake 16 hours of independent patrol per month during year three of their degree. During this year student will gather evidence of their ability to practice at the standards of a regular police officer. 

They will have the opportunity of developing their knowledge of policing and the broader criminal justice system. Successful completion of the programme will equip students with all the necessary knowledge, practical experience, vocational and key skills to meet the operational requirements of the police service.

Career

The Policing programme is specifically designed to cater for those who wish to become serving police officers. Whilst successful completion of the programme does not guarantee appointments as a Regular Constable, it enables students to make a credible application for such post as they arise. This is because successful completion of the programme should offer standing against the training requirements set by individual forces/services during probationary periods of employment.

For those who do not want to become a Warranted police officer, but still wish to work within policing, this programme will provide a strong academic qualification to support such a career choice.

The programme will also equip students with a deep understanding of the wider criminal justice sector and open up potential career options in other criminal justice areas.
