Fifty-five new policing recruits have been sworn in.

The ceremony saw the group read their attestation pledge and receive their policing powers.

The latest Staffordshire Police intake included 21 Detective Constable Degree Holder Entry Programme student officers and 34 Degree Holder Entry Programme officers.

The new recruits will get on-the-job training and education through a programme delivered by the force and Staffordshire University, working towards a graduate degree in professional policing practice.

After attending practical and theory-based teaching sessions and supported online learning, the new officers will join teams across the county to carry out further operational training.

Rachel Jordan, from Staffordshire Police, said:

“The attestation ceremony was an important occasion for officers and I wish the new recruits the very best for their future careers with Staffordshire Police.

“This designated route into policing is there to help officers with the skills they need to tackle issues, such as prevention, early intervention and problem-solving skills, and serve communities to the best of their abilities.”
