Cumbria Constabulary has launched three new police officer entry routes.
From 2020, nationally, entry requirements into the role of police officer will change with all new officers requiring degree-level qualification upon entry or achieve one through an apprenticeship route with the Constabulary.
The three new national routes of entry to become a serving police officer are: Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, Degree Holder Entry Programme and a Pre-Join Degree Route.
The change to the entry criteria is the first in over a decade.
