Police 'could need degree education' says College of Policing

All new police officers in England and Wales could require a degree in future, under plans proposed by the College of Policing.

Currently there is no service-wide minimum qualification for new police officers, but the college says the job is now of "degree-level complexity".

It is consulting on the plans which, if approved, could run as a pilot in 2017 and be fully adopted by 2019.
