Benefits for employees and potential recruits

Achieving the Policing Knowledge Certificate, Diploma in Policing or PCSO Certificate

For many Forces currently recruiting, obtaining a pre join qualification is now mandatory before you can be considered for the police recruit assessment process.

For those hoping to join the police as constables, achieving any of these qualifications demonstrates your commitment and suitability to the role of regular constable.

Neighbourhood Policing qualifications - major benefits for Police Officers

As a neighbourhood police officer, your achievement of a SFJ Awards Professional Award in the Management of Neighbourhood Policing or Advanced Award in Neighbourhood Policing will provide an excellent foundation for career progression. And whether you're sponsored by your Force or you fund yourself, these qualifications will demonstrate your achievements and significantly improve your career opportunities.

Bluelight Consultancy’s qualifications could lead to potential pay benefits that will more than make up for any personal funds you may commit to your development. It's worth bearing in mind that the recently published Winsor Report recommended an allowance of £600 for neighbourhood police officers who have served 'in the same community for more than three years (in the absence of any established system of professional accreditation in this area).'
