What are the requirements for police in the UK and how much does it pay?

Question

For example on requirements (must be slim, must be able to run so far) etc, and I was curious how much it pays yearly.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Umm well, i want to be in the Police Force aswell

So:

1. Have to Fit and Healthy

2. Good GCSE results or A Levels. They always help

3. Must have NO criminal record in the past 5 years and your parents must have NO criminal record in the past 5 years

That's the basics of what are required =)

Also from what i know they base you in a table, so if you have good GCSE's then you will be high in the table, if you are the fastest runner you will be higher in the table. Etc.........  

I'm taking Law, Psychology and Philosophy in college to boost my chances =)

I got this information from Police Officers and local Police Stations, go down and ask....

Good Luck in the future *i live in the UK*
