How you'll be trained

For your first day, you will receive an induction at Force Headquarters which will include some training, IT equipment, uniform and warrant card collection. You will also complete your attestation at Leicestershire Magistrates Court on this day. On the following day, you will report to your allocated station where your new line manager will arrange any relevant training courses for you, to help you settle into your new position. This will likely include how to use our IT systems. There will be highly experienced and skilled officers around you at all times, who will be there to help you to adjust to Leicestershire Police as needed.

Beyond your initial training, we aim to support the ongoing development of our officers. Our Team Leicestershire Academy have aligned their new Inclusive Leadership Development Programmes with the College of Policing National Framework to offer a comprehensive programme that supports the development of all of our officers and staff at each level.

The programme follows a ‘five stages of Leadership approach’ designed to provide you with the appropriate knowledge, understanding, skills and capabilities with a focus on continuous professional development throughout your career.

Upon transferring or re-joining to us, you can be confident you’ll be working with a professional team of people. We are committed to working together to ensure we deliver on our promises of making our diverse communities safer.
