Initial Eligibility Criteria

BTP welcome applications from those who have previously served as a member of a Home Office police force.

In line with current College of Policing guidance on re-joiner applicants, there is no time restriction in place for those wishing to re-join service and we will consider all ex-officers on application.

A training needs analysis will be conducted as required and, depending on the length of time out of service or any notable skills gaps, training could be anywhere from 2 to 18 weeks and may include a period of Work-Based Assessment. Please be aware that training requirements cannot be assessed on a speculative basis and this will be discussed at conditional offer stage.

Before the BTP progresses your application, consideration will be given to a number of initial eligibility criteria. Therefore, please consider the following before completing an application:

  • Applicants must currently be serving in a Home Office police force or have previously served in a Home Office police force.
  • Those applying on a transferee basis must currently be serving in a Home Office police force and be substantive in the rank of Constable, having completed the full probationary service.
  • Those applying to re-join service must have previously served as a member of a Home Office police force, having satisfactorily completed the period of probationary service in the rank of constable and resigned or retired from that force.
  • Applicants must be a PIP 2 accredited Detective
  • Rejoiner members must sit the National Investigators’ Examination (NIE) at the earliest opportunity. This applies to all rejoiner members who have not already successfully achieved a pass at the required level, or if the currency of such a pass has lapsed.
  • Applicants must not currently be subject to any unsatisfactory performance reviews, action plans or live warnings.
  • Any other eligibility criteria listed within the role-specific Job Description

You will not be eligible to apply if you have an existing CCJ or IVA outstanding against you. Applicants who have been registered bankrupt will not be considered. Failure to disclose any of the above will lead to your application being rejected.

Applicants with a criminal record will be reviewed on a case by case basis, but can be rejected from the process dependent on the date and nature of the conviction. Applicants are encouraged to email recruitmentteam@btp.pnn.police.uk if they have any queries on previous convictions.
