This apprenticeship framework at level 3 has been developed with the support of the four Welsh police forces, and forms part of the justice system’s plans to develop a clear framework of qualifications for policing and law enforcement across the UK.

It is designed to provide a standardised pan-Wales approach to the training of recruit constables, to attract new people into policing, and to provide progression routes in police and law enforcement or the wider justice sector.

As part of the Home Office Policing pathway apprentices work as ‘recruit constables’, and will learn to:

• support law enforcement objectives
• provide an initial response to incidents
• arrest, detain or report individuals
• manage conflict
• provide initial support to victims & witnesses
• conduct investigations
• interview victims, witnesses & suspects
