ISP Consultancy is a highly professional and experienced organisation that offers comprehensive training for recruitment of Police Constables, Special Constables and Police Community Support Officers (PCSO). We will assist you in the preliminary stages when you are considering a police career, take you through the national selection process and, after appointment as an officer, assist with your career progression.

Joining the police is one of the most important life decisions you will make. It is essential you get it right. To assist you we will:

• assess your aptitude for police work - try our free web based tests
• assist you with the police application form
• provide you with seminar training and one-to-one coaching before your assessment day
• provide you with interview techniques for the filter interview (if required by your force)

All of our graduates do well at the application stage and the assessment centre. We are proud of our high pass rate and that we routinely achieve some of the highest pass marks in the country.

After you are appointed as a serving officer we will assist you with your police career so that you can get into a specialist role, pass a promotion selection board or be selected for the High Potential Development Scheme. Many serving officers we have assisted with recruit selection are now serving in specialist departments like Roads Policing and the Criminal Investigation Department. Many have also been promoted.

To assist you we can provide interview techniques training and design a bespoke package to meet the needs of the particular selection process you will have to undertake.

We pride ourselves in striking a personal relationship with you. You are not just a client; you will be a friend of ISP Consultancy and we will be your mentor and source of guidance as your career progresses.

We work with police forces across the country helping officers with personal development, team working and leadership. We operate inside and outside the police force so we are aware of developments in policing. These developments are incorporated into our police recruitment training and police career development packages.
