Allow military police personnel who have no UCAS points to join the civil police
Change the entry criteria for joining the civil police to allow people with military police experience who do not have 63 UCAS points to join the police constabularies within the UK
To enable military personnel who have military police experience the opportunity to leave the military environment and pursue a career within the civil police force. At present, school leavers at the age of 18 with no life experience who have a 63 UCAS points in any subject, can apply for the civil police force due to the law changing in 2020. However, people with no UCAS points but have numerous years experience within the military police cannot join. I consider this extremely unfair.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about entry requirements for the police are a matter for the independent College of Policing, not the UK Government or Parliament. You can find out more about how this works here: recruit.college.police.uk/Officer/Pages/eligibility.aspx
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
You could start a petition calling for the Government to commission a review into barriers to entry to the police for former military personnel, if that is something you'd like to happen.
