All police canine handlers are first and foremost police officers. Therefore you need only pass the requirements to be a police officer to become employed. THEN, you may wish to become a handler, and if selected, you and the canine will attend a training school. Depending on your skill and that of the dog this may last for several weeks or more, and you are always subject to ongoing refresher training.

How do you become a police dog handler?

You don't need any GCSE's to become a police officer, but there are some that may help you more than others to be an eligible candidate for the role. Firstly, the obvious English, Maths and Science are always helpful. Secondly, languages are really good to have, so like I took Welsh and Spanish, you may have different ones like French or German or something. If you're choosing your GCSE's now, you should go for something you enjoy doing to break it up a little, or you might want to choose something that sounds applicable to the work of a police officer, like Economics or something

Most police departments require officers work at least 2 (usually more) years before being eligible to become a detective. Becoming a detective is usually a very competitive process.
