Our values and competencies

Our personal values are a really important aspect of our lives. Although we probably don’t give a lot of thought to them day to day they strongly influence the decisions and choices we make particularly in relation to our careers, activities we engage in and people we relate to.

Most people are attracted to policing because they share the values of public service, but this doesn’t mean that they won’t have other personal values as well. This is absolutely fine. Whatever your personal values are, we simply ask you to ensure they are focused toward our values and competencies.

An overview of our values and competencies are described below. For a full list of the behaviours and levels against each value and competencies view the College of Policing 'Competency and Values Framework for Policing' PDF document.
