Policing Pathway
As part of the Criminology degree, Nottingham Trent University, in partnership with Nottinghamshire Constabulary, have introduced an innovative Policing Pathway. This pathway provides you with the opportunity to train as a special constable, undertake specialist modules in a wide range of contemporary policing issues and build your practical policing experience throughout the degree. During the first year, you will study the same modules as the wider Criminology group. In Years Two and Three, your bespoke modules will focus on the requirements of a graduate wishing to enter the police service. Modules are delivered by NTU experts alongside active serving police staff. Special Constables are volunteer officers who have the same powers as a regular officer and undertake a variety of tasks such as serving warrants, vehicle checks, town centre patrols and neighbourhood policing. Students who take part in the scheme undertake a 10-week training course, which includes study of the law, practical workshops and physical assessments. The role of a special constable provides fantastic experience and you will get a taste of what it is like to work in the police force and develop the skills needed to deal with a diverse range of people and situations.
