Professional Policing

Policing is an incredibly rewarding career and allows you to truly make a difference to a community while giving you the opportunity to protect members of the public.

This exciting course focuses on the main challenges a 21st-century police officer faces, such as protecting the vulnerable, digital policing and counter-terrorism measures. It also provides a foundation knowledge of the role of a police constable and the five core areas of professional policing practice: response policing, policing communities, policing the roads, information and intelligence, and conducting investigations.

This Higher National Certificate (HNC) follows the curriculum for Year 1 of the Professional Policing BA (Hons) degree course.

The Policing Practice HNC will introduce you to the fundamentals of being a police constable — what the job directly involves and the range of responsibilities, codes and conducts which must be adhered to.
