You may be accepted with a minimum of three to five GCSEs (A-C) or the equivalent, preferably including English, maths and a science subject. However, forces often ask for A levels (or equivalent qualifications) and some will expect you to have a degree in a science-related subject. You will also need at least 15 years of education. You should check with the force in the area where you want to work before enrolling on a course. See Police Service Recruitment for contact details.
All police forces will carry out a check of your background and employment history. A criminal record may not always prevent you from being employed in the police service, but you must declare any convictions.
You will need normal colour vision, and will usually need a driving licence.
You would need to show that you have scientific ability, either from qualifications or experience. Qualifications or experience in Photography can also be useful, and may be essential for some forces. It may be an advantage when looking for work if you have experience of dealing with the public and working in sensitive situations.
In some police forces you will start as an assistant scenes of crime officer (or volume crime scene examiner), recording, recovering and collecting forensic evidence from crimes such as burglaries and car break-ins. You may then be able to progress to work as a SOCO.
