National Recruitment Standards - 2004
An inspection, led by Robin Field-Smith MBE MA Chartered FCIPD FCMI, Her Majestys Inspector of Constabulary (Personnel and Training), was conducted between January and June 2004 to establish the current position and any key issues concerning the National Recruitment Standards. These apply to police officer recruitment and selection, and were introduced progressively from May 2003. The National Recruitment Standards comprise eight elements with the main new aspects being a competency-based questionnaire, assessment centre and job-related fitness test. Whilst nearly all forces had implemented all the various elements as at 30 April 2004, three forces had not done so, but had implementation plans in place, two for June 2004, and one for early 2005. All aspects of the competency based questionnaire and assessment centre are designed around the Integrated Competency Framework for a patrol constable.
