Requirements:

• Achieved Independent Patrol Status (England and Wales only)
• Received First Aid Training
• Free from any convictions/cautions/reprimands and penalty notices (other than driving penalty notices) even if you are serving as a Special Constable at the moment with another force.
• Thoroughly grounded in the operational aspects of police work
• Free from any ongoing investigation in your current force
• Have completed your minimum required annual hours and live in or near the BTP policing area you wish to transfer to.
