Of all the choices you have to make when you are at school one of the hardest is knowing what to do when you leave. For many this will lead to university, colleges or other forms of higher education. For others, the world of work beckons. But whatever you choose there can be few careers that will challenge you more than that of a Police Officer.

If you have never considered this demanding, exciting and ultimately rewarding career, why not?

It may be that you have preconceived ideas about what it takes. It may be because you think you do not have the right qualifications or you aren't fit enough. It could be that you have heard many strange tales and are now not sure what is fact and what is fiction. But whatever it is, until you ask us you will never know.

Warwickshire Police wants to encourage you to consider a career in the police service. Below we have tried to answer some of the more common questions that people have. You may have others and if so, please call the recruitment team at police headquarters on 01926 415052.
