Specialist Training
The RAF Police Initial Course lasts for 22 weeks and is delivered at the Defence School of Policing and Security, MOD Southwick Park, Hampshire. You will be trained alongside your counterparts from the Navy and Army and the course covers law enforcement duties including civilian and service legislation, investigations, reporting and recording of Service and civilian offences, Personal Safety Training, arrest procedures, and police interviews.
You will also be trained in the principles of security including personnel security, protective security, information assurance, security risk management, counter terrorism and aviation security. If you are selected for dog-handling duties, further training will follow where you will be taught to work with, and care for, a RAF Police dog.
Additional Qualification Opportunities
During your specialist training, where eligible, you will be given the opportunity to enrol on the Advanced Level 3 Security First Line Manager Apprenticeship.
Further progression in the specialisation is credited against a BA( Hons) degree in Organisational Capability Development.
