Are there any entry requirements for Metropolitan Special Constables?
If you want to apply for the Metropolitan Special Constabulary, you must be between the ages of 18 and 57 years and have resided in UK for the 3 years prior to submitting an application. You must also have ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK. If you are in the UK on a student visa, unfortunately you are not eligible to apply. No formal qualifications are required in order to apply, however, it is helpful to have some equivalent life experience. You’ll be required to complete a competency-based application form, written tests and a structured interview. You would need to be at least 18 1/2 years of age on the first day of training – so although it’s best to apply now, you might have to wait a short while for your course if you’ve just turned 18.
