    Durham Constabulary begins police officer recruitment drive

    A major drive to recruit new officers to one of the country’s top-performing police forces opens today (12 August).

    Applications to join Durham Constabulary as a police constable will open at 9am on Friday, with successful applicants having the chance to earn up to £43,032.

    The force is opening applications for those interested in joining the constabulary through the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) and the Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) schemes, as part of the Government’s pledge to recruit 20,000 new officers.

    Under the degree apprenticeship, student officers will study towards a degree in Professional Policing Practice through Northumbria University while working as a frontline officer, splitting their time between practical, on-the-job training and classroom-based learning.
